CORAX.chat — moments that don't stick around

Not everything needs to live forever.

CORAX.chat is messaging built for the moment — photos and messages that disappear, real-time presence, and none of your moments turned into ad data.

Join the waitlistHow it works

Why every chat feels like a permanent record

The apps you grew up on are built to keep everything.

  • Everything you send is forever

    Messages and photos pile up in an archive you can never really take back.

  • Highlight-reel pressure

    The feed rewards a polished, curated version of you — not real, in-the-moment sharing.

  • Your moments get mined

    Photos, reactions and activity quietly feed ad profiles and recommendation engines.

How CORAX.chat keeps it light

Share the moment, not a permanent record.

  • It disappears

    Messages and snaps vanish after they're seen.

    Concretely

    Set a timer or let it clear after viewing — nothing is silently archived behind your back.

  • Real, right now

    Live presence and spontaneous sharing, not a curated feed.

    Concretely

    See who's around and share on impulse — no algorithm deciding what gets seen.

  • Yours alone

    Encrypted, with nothing sold on.

    Concretely

    End-to-end encryption and zero ad-profiling — your moments aren't a data product.

What CORAX.chat inverts

Decentralized, encrypted, portable. And no black box, ever.

  • End-to-end encrypted

    Encryption by default. Nobody can read your messages.

    Concretely

    Olm and Megolm protocols — the same battle-tested cryptography behind Element. Keys never leave your device.

  • Decentralized

    Built on Matrix. Federated, no single point of failure, self-hostable.

    Concretely

    Hundreds of independent servers already federate over Matrix. If one goes down, the network keeps running — and you can self-host yours.

  • Open source

    Open code, documented process. No black box.

    Concretely

    AGPLv3-licensed code, public roadmap, transparent governance backed by a French non-profit. Anyone can audit, fork or contribute.

  • Portable

    Switch clients without losing a thing. Your identity stays yours.

    Concretely

    Export your full history with one click and import it into another Matrix client. Your contacts, rooms and identity follow you.
