Ocean's Wave: Private Chat
Encrypted voice that vanishes
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Say it, then let it go. Ocean's Wave is end-to-end encrypted messaging and calling where every message — voice, text, photos, files — disappears on a timer you set.
Most messaging apps promise privacy as a feature. Ocean's Wave makes it the default. Conversations stay between you and the person you're sending to — nowhere else, for no longer than you choose.
END-TO-END ENCRYPTED BY DEFAULT
Every message is encrypted on your device before it leaves. The server stores encrypted data it cannot read. Only you and the recipient hold the keys.
BURN TIMER FROM 1 MINUTE TO 3 MONTHS
Set how long a message lives after the recipient opens it. When the timer expires, the message is cryptographically erased — gone from both sides, unrecoverable.
VOICE. TEXT. FILES.
Send voice messages, text, photos, videos, and documents — PDFs included. All encrypted. All ephemeral.
ENCRYPTED VOICE CALLS
Call any contact straight from a conversation. Calls are end-to-end encrypted the same way your messages are, and they connect your two devices directly wherever the network allows it. Nothing is recorded, nothing is stored, and nothing is left behind when you hang up.
INVITE ANYONE
Reach people who aren't on Ocean's Wave yet. Send an invite link, and when they join you're connected automatically — no phone numbers, no contact uploads.
ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECTURE
Your private keys never leave your device. Back them up with a 24-word recovery phrase only you control. Ocean's Wave cannot read your messages, recover your keys, or restore your conversations. This isn't a policy — it's enforced by the cryptography.
WHAT WE DON'T COLLECT
- The contents of your messages
- Your contact list
- Your message history
- Your encryption keys
BUILT FOR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS
Journalists protecting sources. Teams sharing sensitive contracts. Anyone who believes private conversations should stay private.
Download Ocean's Wave and have the conversations you want without leaving a trail.

Delete conversations.
• Swipe a conversation to delete it. Your messages burn for both of you
• When someone deletes a conversation with you, you see it closed, their messages burn and yours stay
• Delete it on your side too to remove it for good, or tap Start new to begin a fresh conversation
• Writing to the same person later always starts a new conversation, old messages never come back
Also in this release.
• Long conversations open faster: the newest messages load first, older ones as you scroll up
• A "Never" burn timer now really keeps the message
• Messages burned while your phone was offline disappear as soon as it reconnects
• More reliable reconnecting after the app was in the background
