WHY PERSCHAT?

πŸ“± CHAT WITH OR WITHOUT INTERNET
Perschat uses layered peer-to-peer connections to keep your messages flowing. When you're offline, messages travel over Bluetooth Low Energy and local Wi-Fi β€” perfect for travel, rural areas, festivals, or dead zones. When you're back online, everything syncs automatically.

πŸ”’ END-TO-END ENCRYPTION
Every peer-to-peer message is encrypted on your device with keys that never leave it. Your conversations belong to you β€” not to us, not to advertisers.

πŸ“ MEET PEOPLE NEARBY
Find people around you with built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi discovery. Send an invitation with a tap β€” or share a QR code β€” and start chatting instantly. No phone number exchange needed.

πŸ“ž VOICE & VIDEO CALLS
Crystal-clear one-to-one voice and video calls powered by WebRTC, working over the internet connection you already have.

πŸ‘₯ GROUP CHAT
Create group conversations with your friends, manage members, and keep everyone in sync β€” even when members join from different network conditions.

AD-LIGHT BY DESIGN
Perschat is free and supported by non-intrusive ads β€” banners docked at the bottom of the screen and occasional app-open ads, never inside your conversations or calls. Watch a short rewarded ad anytime to go ad-free for 24 hours.

Your privacy comes first: Perschat never reads your messages, and location access is used only for discovering nearby devices β€” never for advertising.
