Jarvel Chat is messaging for people who work together.
One-to-one and group conversations that stay in step everywhere you use them —
the message you send from your phone is already there in your browser.
CONVERSATIONS THAT KEEP UP
See when someone is typing, when they were last around, and when your message
was delivered and read — delivery reported by their device rather than guessed
at, so the mark means what it says. Messages arrive the moment they are sent.
REPLY THE WAY YOU MEAN IT
Swipe a message to reply to it. Start a thread when a topic deserves its own
space, or quote a single line inline when it does not. React with any emoji.
MAKE IT YOURS
Read your chats as bubbles or as a clean list, pick the colour of your own
messages, and set a background from a palette, a gradient or your own photo.
Your choices are yours alone — they change nothing for the people you talk to.
MORE THAN TEXT
Send photos, files and voice clips. Links unfurl into a card so you can see
where they lead before you tap.
VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS
Call the people you chat with, one to one, from the conversation or from the
Calls tab. Mute, switch to speaker or turn your camera off without leaving the
call, and shrink it into a corner to carry on reading while you talk. Calls go
straight between the two devices whenever the network allows and are encrypted
in transit, and Jarvel never records or transcribes them. Your call log
remembers who you spoke to and for how long, and rings them back in a tap.
GROUPS THAT STAY ORGANISED
Name a group, give it a picture, and share it with as many people as you need.
Make someone else an admin, add people by username or email, and invite anyone
who is not on Jarvel yet.
FIND IT AGAIN
Search inside a conversation or across every one of them — including the
encrypted ones. A server cannot match text it cannot read, so your phone keeps
its own index as messages arrive and searches that instead. Archive the chats
you are done with; they come back on their own when someone writes again.
EVERYTHING YOU SENT
Photos, videos and documents from a conversation, each in their own tab. Switch
on saving for a chat and its photos land in your camera roll as you read it.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Conversations encrypt themselves once everyone in them has a device, and the
lock in the header tells you when. Compare device codes with the other person,
in the room or over a call, and you have checked for yourself that nobody sits
between you.
BUILT FOR IPHONE
Native navigation, system search, real bar buttons, swipe actions and full dark
mode. It looks and moves like an iPhone app because it is one.
