Hey PH! 👋
It started with a simple problem: international video calls are increasingly governed. Apps get blocked, accounts get flagged, and every call passes through servers that log more than they should. As governments push big tech to build backdoors into their products, the problem only gets worse. I wanted something that just works — for two people or a small group — no accounts, no data collected, no middleman. Just a direct, private connection. That's how ChikaD was born. Let private stay private.
So I created a simple MVP that fit the bill — a private video call that just worked, no accounts, no servers in the middle. Built here in Canada, with privacy as a first principle.
Then I thought: what if others need this too?
As a QA automation engineer by day, I couldn't ship something half-baked — so every feature went through rigorous cross-platform testing before release.
The result: P2P video calls that go straight browser to browser. No one can record your call — not even me.
Who is it for?
Anyone who values privacy — remote teams, families across borders, journalists, activists, or just people tired of signing up for yet another app.
