Pug Network - free, account-less, encrypted chat rooms

Launch encrypted express rooms for two or tailor custom links with expiry and caps—no sign-up ever.

  • Express rooms for two: share the link and start privately in seconds.
  • Self-destructing timers: choose when chats vanish—5 minutes to 24 hours.
  • True end-to-end encryption: only invited guests hold the key.
  • Custom rooms: add participant limits and room controls for secure groups.

Custom room options with encrypted links and participant caps—100% free.

Link to Express Room

Tip: End‑to‑end encryption is included in the link after the #. Remove the #… part if you prefer an unencrypted room.

How to use your private room

  1. Choose your setup: Click Create Express Room for a two-person link, or Build a custom room to preset expiry and participant cap before sharing.
  2. Share with your guests: Copy the link and send it directly. Express rooms support you and one guest; custom rooms follow the limit you picked.
  3. Stay encrypted: Keep the # fragment in the link so only invited people can read the conversation.
  4. Purge or let it expire: Use the Purge button to clear history early, and every room auto-vanishes on the schedule you choose.

Set the expiry and participant cap.

Fine-tune the room before sharing the link.

Technical note: why Pug Network stays secure

  • Client-side encryption: the optional AES-GCM key is generated in your browser and shared only inside the link’s # fragment, so our servers relay ciphertext without seeing your secret.
  • Ephemeral rooms: sessions live in memory, auto-expire on schedule, and purge everyone instantly when the timer ends—nothing rests on disk.
  • Abuse-resistant access: a lightweight proof-of-work check keeps bots from mass-creating rooms while letting humans stay anonymous and account-free.
  • No file transfers: by design we skip uploads to remove a major attack path and keep conversations focused on secure text only.
