EncryptRoom - Live encrypted terminal chat, no history, just trusted rooms

by
EncryptRoom lets you create a private terminal chat and share invite-enabled apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users open the app, enter a display name (and room password if required), and chat live in the terminal. Security uses HMAC room auth, X25519 + HKDF-SHA256 key derivation, and ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption with replay protection. The relay only forwards ciphertext in memory and stores no message history.

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Cory from Software for Progress Foundation. We built EncryptRoom, a private Open Source terminal chatroom with end-to-end encryption and no server-side message history. The relay is untrusted and only forwards ciphertext in memory, so it cannot read your messages. You create a room and generate shareable apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, then friends open the app, enter a display name and password, and chat live in terminal. Offline users miss messages by default, so there is no mailbox. We built this for teams and communities that want simple, auditable privacy without heavy setup, and I’d love your feedback on usability, security, and what we should build next.
