Ephemeral workspace for real-time chat and file sharing

Create an ephemeral workspace for real-time chat and file sharing. No signup, no login, and no message history. Start a session instantly, share a link or code, and collaborate in a temporary room for quick, one-time communication and information exchange.
I originally built HZ Chat to solve a simple problem: quickly sharing files between different devices without dealing with unnecessary setup or account requirements.
Then I realized people often need to share more than files, such as links, notes, passwords, and other temporary information. That naturally evolved into a lightweight chat room for one-time conversations.
HZ Chat is designed for moments when you do not need another permanent group chat: sharing files between devices, coordinating a quick meetup, exchanging information with a buyer or client, or having a temporary conversation without keeping a history.
No accounts, no login, and no message history. Just create a room, share the code or link, and start chatting.
How do you handle the case when someone joins late, since there's no message history?
@rem1219681 Great question. HZ Chat is intentionally designed as a lightweight real-time chat room rather than a traditional messaging app. Messages are relayed in real time and are not stored on the server, so new participants cannot load previous conversations after joining.
For one-time conversations, this keeps the system simple and avoids creating permanent chat history. If a conversation needs to be shared later, users can export the chat before the session ends.
We are also exploring ways to support more reusable rooms in the future while keeping the same privacy-focused approach. For now, the focus is keeping temporary chats fast, simple, and ephemeral.
