What is Enchat?

Enchat brings end-to-end encrypted communication directly to your terminal, enabling completely private conversations without corporate surveillance or data harvesting. Chat securely with colleagues, friends, or team members knowing that your messages are cryptographically protected and invisible to servers, governments, and eavesdroppers.

Why Enchat? Because your conversations deserve better than Big Tech's "encrypted" platforms that still profile you, track you, and own your data. Take back control with a tool that's truly private by design - no accounts, no tracking, no compromises.

Features:

  • Real-time encrypted chat with timestamps and status indicators
  • Multiple server options including dedicated enchat server
  • Self-hosted ntfy support for complete infrastructure control
  • Auto-reconnection with smart retry logic
  • Desktop notifications (Linux, macOS)
  • Command system (/help, /clear, /exit, /server, /who)
  • Smart input handling and message validation
  • Cross-platform terminal support
