Private messaging, built for peace of mind
SecureChat is a source candidate under validation, not a deployed production capability. In this candidate, direct messages are encrypted end to end in one browser before network I/O.
Scope: the properties below describe the current direct, single-browser candidate. Support requests, this contact form, optional contact-request introduction notes, and free-text abuse-report reasons are not end-to-end encrypted and can be read by PlugZ. Do not include sensitive information there.
Why we built SecureChat
People want private, everyday conversations that stay between the people in them. SecureChat is PlugZ's own approach to messaging — like the messaging built into the platforms you already use — designed to keep your content private and to collect as little data as possible. It is free and part of PlugZ; there is nothing to pay.
Our approach
We design for privacy first: SecureChat is built for end-to-end encryption, with an architecture designed to be server-blind so PlugZ cannot read your messages, and we aim to collect only what is needed to run the service. Some capabilities are still rolling out — see the roadmap for what is live today. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.
What SecureChat is designed for
Capabilities
Built for End-to-End Encryption
SecureChat is designed to encrypt message content end to end, with private keys held only in your browser. No message has yet been carried between two authenticated users.
Server-Blind by Design
The architecture is designed so PlugZ's servers handle only encrypted, opaque messages and cannot read your content.
Privacy-First Design
We aim to collect only the data needed to operate the service. See the Privacy Policy for what is collected and why.
Forward Secrecy
Session keys are designed to rotate over time, so compromising one key does not expose your earlier conversations.
Minimal Metadata
We work to limit the metadata associated with your conversations, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
Free & Built In
SecureChat is part of PlugZ and free for members — no separate app, no separate subscription, nothing to pay.
What is next for SecureChat
Source validation
Direct-message E2E code is in the candidate and still requires immutable-artifact, deployed-runtime, authenticated two-user E2E, and device-recovery evidence before availability is claimed. Group and cross-device messaging remain roadmap items.
End-to-end encryption rollout
Bringing client-side end-to-end encryption to conversations across the PlugZ apps.
More privacy controls
Adding finer-grained privacy and device-verification controls based on user feedback.
Group conversations
Group chats and richer conversation controls.
Continuous improvement
Ongoing security reviews and improvements as the product matures.
