Maya Wait, voice notes have transcripts now?

Conversations, minus the noise.

Parley is a private messenger for the people you actually talk to. Group chats you can follow, voice notes you can skim, and end-to-end encryption on all of it.

Free on iPhone and Android. No ads, ever.

For the group trip, the 11pm voice note and the photo that couldn't wait. Not for ads, feeds or strangers.

Group chats you can follow.

Names show once per run of messages, the plan stays pinned at the top, and an @mention finds you even in a busy thread.

  • Pinned messages

    Keep the meeting spot where everyone can see it.

  • Mentions that reach you

    Muted groups still notify you when you are tagged.

  • Members, media and links

    Everything the group shared, one tab away.

The things you notice by week two.

Small decisions, each one made after watching people actually use their group chats.

Reactions that keep your place. Long-press to react, reply or pin. The chat blurs behind you, not away.
Profiles, one tap away. Shared media, groups in common and safety numbers from any chat header.
Light and dark, both designed. In dark mode your own messages flip to light, so they stay easy to spot.
A group in one sheet. Pick people, see them as faces, start talking.
Calls, people first. Favorites up top. Missed calls stand out.
End-to-end encrypted

Private by default.

Every message, call, photo and voice note is end-to-end encrypted. Only the people in the chat hold the keys, so we can't read your messages and neither can anyone in between.

  • Every message and call is encrypted end to end, automatically.
  • Set any chat to disappear after a day, a week or 90 days.
  • Compare safety numbers to confirm you’re talking to the right person.
