Say hey.
Send a link.
You're talking.

HeyHeyChat is a group chat that lives at an address you choose. Whoever opens the link joins the conversation, straight from the browser.

No name in mind? Leave it empty and you get a random one.

Three steps, and the first two take seconds

There is no group to create and no invite to accept. The address does the work.

1

Name it

Type a name after the slash, like /team-lunch. The room exists the moment you open it.

2

Send it

Paste the link anywhere, or show the QR code. Anyone with it can join, from any device.

3

Talk

Everyone picks a nickname and you are chatting. When the talking stops, the room tidies itself away.

Handy when a whole app is too much

A few of the situations it was made for. You will think of others.

Plans with friends

Tonight, the weekend, the trip. One link instead of another group you never leave.

A class or workshop

Write the address on the board. Questions come in without anyone handing out a number.

A quick client chat

Talk to a customer or supplier for a day without swapping private numbers.

Next to a stream

Put the link in your description and let viewers talk to each other while you broadcast.

Small, but not bare

Every room comes with this. Nothing to switch on first.

The opener runs the roomSet a topic, delete messages, remove or ban people. The role survives a dropped connection.
Private messagesTap a name to talk to one person. Those messages are delivered and not kept.
Messages that vanishSwitch on a timer per room: gone after a minute, an hour or a day.
Reactions and repliesReact with an emoji, quote the message you answer, see who is typing.
Join by QR codePut the code on a screen or a sheet of paper; one scan and people are in.
Spam brakesA quick human check at the door, a posting speed limit and a word filter.
Light and darkFollows your device, with a switch in the room if you prefer the other one.
Cleans up after itselfFifty messages at most, and a full reset after a day nobody shows up.

Questions

What is HeyHeyChat?

A free group chat that lives behind a link. You give a room a name, send heyheychat.com/that-name to the people you want to talk to, and everyone who opens it is in the same conversation. Nobody signs up and nobody installs anything.

Do I need an account or a phone number?

No to both. There is no registration, no email address, no password and no phone number anywhere. When you enter a room you choose a nickname of up to eight characters, and that is all you give.

How do I get my friends in?

Send them the room's address in whatever you already use: a text, an email, a comment, a slide. You can also show the QR code from inside the room. Opening the link is the only step, there is no request to approve.

Can strangers find my room?

Not by browsing. Rooms are not listed or searchable on the site and room pages are kept out of search engines. The flip side: anyone who has the link can walk in. Treat the link like a key and choose a name that is hard to guess.

How long do messages stay?

A room keeps its latest fifty messages. After a day in which nobody is in the room, it resets and the address is free again. The person who opened the room can also make messages vanish after a minute, an hour or a day.

Who is in charge of a room?

Whoever opens a room first becomes its moderator and stays moderator after a reconnect. The moderator can set a topic, delete messages, remove people and ban them. Everybody can mute a single person for themselves with the ignore option.

Is it private?

It is private from people who do not have the link, not from the service itself. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, and the operator can read rooms to handle abuse reports. For confidential business, use a tool built for that.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It is a web page, so it runs in the browser of a phone, tablet or computer. There is no app to download, which also means it works on a work laptop where you cannot install software.

Rather walk into a room that is already busy?

HeyHeyChat is for your own room with your own people. If you would like to drop into a conversation that is already going, try chatinbrowser.com, which has rooms that are always open. Same maker.

Somebody has to say hey first.
