59chat 0.4.1

59-second zero-trace terminal chat backed by the 59chat relay

59CHAT

SILENCE IS A CHOICE.

59CHAT exists for professionals who understand that true privacy isn't a feature.

It's architecture. Terminal-native. Low retention by design. Every message self-destructs in 59 seconds after read, rooms expire in 59 minutes, and empty rooms are destroyed as soon as the last participant leaves.

🛡️ The Architecture of Silence

MINIMAL RETENTION

Messages are held in memory only while a room is alive. After they are read, they burn in 59 seconds. Empty rooms are removed immediately, and idle rooms die after 59 minutes.

NO SIGNUP FLOW

No registration. No email. No account ceremony. Create a room, share the code, talk, and leave.

BUILT FOR PRECISION

No Electron. No trackers. No bloat. A single binary that does one thing flawlessly.
