NextChat
Private one-to-one messaging
Talk to the people who matter, without the noise.
Friends, direct messages, replies and pings in one calm, focused workspace.
- One-to-one direct messages with full history
- Friend requests you control
- Replies, @mentions and unread pings
Phase 1 runs on this device. Accounts, messages and presence are stored locally in your MiniApps storage — there is no shared server yet, so a friend who signs up on their own phone won't appear automatically. You can still add them by username and chat.

Search by name or @username. If the person isn't listed, add them by username — you can message each other straight away.
Recently joined
Names and usernames both work — capitals, spaces and 1-for-i spellings don't matter. Accounts only show up on the device where they were created.
