About KindChat
Scammers, bullies, predators. Every message is checked before it reaches you. KindChat is a full-featured messenger with a conscience: every message is checked on the sender's phone before it can be sent. If the phone is unsure, cannot yet judge the language on its own, or lacks the memory for it, a KindChat server in the EU checks the text and the messages before it, without your account ID. The text is stored only if you consent via "Help improve moderation", and then pseudonymised. When the check detects harassment, hate, threats, scams or grooming, the message is stopped before it is sent. Then every message is end-to-end encrypted: no one can read it on the way. THE CIVILITY GUARD • Every message is checked on the device, before it is sent • Harassment, hate speech, threats, scams and grooming are detected and stopped • One fair standard for everyone: civil disagreement, strong opinions and dark humor are fine; harm is not TRULY PRIVATE • End-to-end encryption (Signal protocol) for every chat, group, photo and call • Encrypted 1:1 voice and video calls • Pulse: a private feed for your circle only. No strangers, no public likes, no algorithm • No tracking, no profiling. Your data is never sold, and never passed on to ad networks or data brokers YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Verify contacts in person with safety numbers • Mute, block or report; the person you report won't learn who reported • When you report, moderation sees the reported message only with your consent; the rest of your chat stays encrypted • Real humans review every account decision, with a written explanation and a right to appeal BUILT IN GERMANY • Hosted in the EU under GDPR • DSA-compliant moderation with due process • Free to use; optional Plus upgrades for comfort features KindChat is for everyone who wants strong conversations without the ugliness: families, friends, clubs and classmates. Hand your teen a phone, not a worry. Kind chats. Strong conversations. Terms of Use: https://kindchat.app/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://kindchat.app/en/privacy/
What’s new
Version 1.1.13 · Updated October 14, 2026
New in 1.1.13 More protection for your privacy: the screen lock now hides more of KindChat. A message only counts as read once you actually have the chat in front of you. Text you have started typing, or a reply, stays in the right chat when you switch to another chat from a notification. If you had turned on "Help improve moderation", it is now off: its text now correctly says "pseudonymised" instead of "anonymised". You can decide again under Settings → Protection. If you turn it off, it now shows as off right after a restart too. The crisis card appears in more situations and in more languages, and "Talk to someone" opens your contacts from any chat. The card now also appears for English sentences written with an apostrophe, such as "I'm", and for more German sentences of despair, and when it holds back a text you typed, your words stay in the message field while the chat is open. With a German phone number, Help and crisis lines has a new "Violence and threats" section with free, anonymous numbers. Moderation recognises more insults and threats, including in Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English and German. Cries for help that repeat what was said to you are held back by mistake less often. As in chat, a Pulse post that was held back now says why and can be reported with "This was fine". An iPhone in the background rings sooner. In groups, messages once again reach members whose safety number has changed, for example after reinstalling. The buttons in "Contacts" and "Chat" now show their names under their icons, and "How KindChat works" shows each button it explains as it looks in the app. When someone redeems your invite code or accepts your contact request, they now appear in your contacts at once while KindChat is open. With large text, names and titles are no longer cut off after a few letters. In the sheet for a held-back message, "Edit" and "Discard" stay within reach at large text sizes. A photo that failed to load can be reloaded with a tap. A photo or video that could not be sent on a weak connection, or because the app was closed, stays in the chat marked as not sent for up to seven days, even after a restart, and a tap sends it again; large videos now get through more reliably on a slow connection. Plus clearer wording in all ten languages.
