pondchat
Private P2P video & text chat — no sign-up, no downloads
Everything You Need for Private Video Calls
Built from the ground up for maximum privacy, zero friction, and high-performance browser communication. Start a pond here, or open @pondchat_bot in Telegram for a huddle from a chat — join when ready, not a phone call.
Zero Sign-Up, 1-Click
No accounts, passwords, or emails required. Create an ephemeral pond in seconds and start talking immediately.
Peer-to-Peer Encryption
Video, audio, and screen data flow directly between peers via DTLS-SRTP WebRTC encryption. Media is never stored on servers.
Room-Encrypted Chat
Text messages are encrypted client-side with AES-GCM (key derived from the room URL). The server copy is wiped when the pond empties.
HD Screen Sharing
Share full screens, application windows, or browser tabs with system audio seamlessly without plugins or desktop apps.
AI Noise Cancellation
Eliminate background noise and microphone echo locally in your browser using RNNoise WebAssembly.
Cross-Platform Web
Runs natively across iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers with zero installation.
Telegram Bot
Open @pondchat_bot to start a pond inside Telegram. Invite with Join Chat or copy the web link — they join when ready, not a ringing call. Same P2P pond as the website; chat wipes when empty, the link stays.
MCP & AI Agents
A built-in Model Context Protocol server lets AI agents create ponds and post encrypted messages into the chat — every agent message is broadcast as room-encrypted ciphertext and never stored. Plug in your own agent, or let a participant host a client-side Claude with their own API key. Learn more →
