Chats that don't touch a server.

Vaults chat rooms are 100% peer-to-peer with real end-to-end encryption (WebRTC DTLS/SRTP). Nothing is stored, nothing is logged, and nothing passes through a mailbox we could ever hand over.

Get access for €5How the encryption works

One-time Lifetime tier. No subscription. No email required.

Message path

Peer → Peer. The server sees nothing.

Traditional chat apps route your messages through a server that reads (or could read) them. Vaults doesn't. Once two peers connect, the data channel is direct and encrypted on both ends.

Why people use it

Built for people who are done trusting servers with their conversations.

Real end-to-end encryption

WebRTC DTLS/SRTP. The session keys are generated between the two browsers. Not by us, not on a server.

No message storage

Refresh the tab, the history is gone. There is no database to breach because there is no database.

Invite-only 6-char keys

Rooms exist only while the host is present. Share the key with people you trust and no one else can join.

No email, no phone

You sign up to Vaults with a username. Chats never ask for anything more.

Works in any browser

No install, no extension, no desktop app. Open a link, join a room, talk.

Files stay peer-to-peer too

Images and attachments ride the same encrypted data channel. They never hit our storage.

Chat Control? No problem.

You cannot scan a message that never lands anywhere.

Chat Control 1.0 and 2.0 both target one thing: message servers. Client-side scanning, backdoored E2EE, mandatory content hashing, it all assumes there is a middleman with your plaintext.

Vaults chats don't have that middleman. Two browsers negotiate a direct encrypted channel, exchange messages, and close the room. We physically do not have your conversations to scan, hand over, or lose.

  • No plaintext on our infrastructure
    Keys are minted in the browser. We never see them.
  • Nothing to subpoena
    No message logs, no attachments archive, no backups.
  • Host controls the room
    Host leaves, room ends. No lingering copies.
  • Open to inspect
    The stack is standard WebRTC. Anyone can verify what leaves the browser.

How it works

01
Host opens a room

Vaults generates a 6-character key. The room lives entirely in your browser.

02
Share the key privately

Send it to whoever you want in. That is the whole invite.

03
Peers connect directly

Browsers negotiate WebRTC. Encryption keys are minted between peers, not on our server.

04
Talk, then close

When the host leaves, the room ends. Nothing sticks around anywhere.

Common questions

Is it really end-to-end encrypted?+
Yes. It uses WebRTC's DTLS/SRTP, the same primitives that secure video calls in modern browsers. The keys are negotiated between the two peers.
Do you store any messages?+
No. There is no message database. Refresh the page and the history in your tab is gone. Nothing is saved on our side.
Can the other person see my IP address?+
Yes, by design. WebRTC opens a direct browser-to-browser connection, and that handshake exposes each side's public IP to the other peer. That is inherent to peer-to-peer, not something specific to Vaults. Hiding IPs would require routing every message through a relay server, which is exactly what we do NOT do (it would cost bandwidth and put a middleman on your traffic). Only join rooms with people you trust with your IP.
Why is it Premium?+
Running the signaling and keeping the abuse surface small costs money. The one-time €5 Lifetime tier keeps it sustainable without ads or subscriptions.
Can guests join without an account?+
No. Every participant needs a Vaults account with at least the Lifetime tier. That is a deliberate abuse-prevention choice.
What about Chat Control?+
Chat Control regulations target central servers holding messages. Vaults chats don't have a central server holding messages, so there is nothing for a scanner to sit on.

Private chats, on your terms.
