Private messaging · iPhone, Android, web
A group chat for the eight people who already know you.
No profiles, no followers, no feed. Just your people, your photos, your jokes — and soon, your memes.
Free. Sign in with Apple, Google or a plain email link — no password, no phone number.
Five things we left out
Every one of them removed a screen. They are what keep Echo from becoming a social network.
Public profilesA person is a name and an avatar inside a chat. Nothing to visit.
FollowersYou are in a chat or you are not. No asymmetry to manage.
A feedTwo destinations total: the list, and a conversation.
Popularity metricsReactions count, they never rank. Unread is the only other number.
RolesAnyone renames the group, adds people, invites. No admin screen exists.
Link → installed → inside, in five taps
- 1
A friend sends you a link
By text, on WhatsApp, or out loud: the code is eight characters, readable even when the link fails.
- 2
You install, you sign in
Apple, Google or a magic link by email. Nothing to remember, nothing to verify twice.
- 3
The code is already filled in
You see who is waiting before you join. One tap, and you're in.
What's inside
Messages, photos, voice
Text, photos from your library or camera, voice messages. Photos are the star: big, in their real ratio.
Replies and reactions
Reply by quoting, react with a long press. The cheapest possible reply is an emoji, always two gestures away.
Groups without a boss
Everyone has the same rights. Name, photo, members: anyone can change anything.
Notifications that respect you
Group name first, author inside the line — you know whether to care before unlocking. Muted chats never reach your lock screen.
Everywhere, at once
Phone, tablet, browser. Same account, same chats, light or dark, in English and French.
What's next
Remix a photo, turn it into a GIF, run a quiz on your own memories. The button will appear in the corner of every photo — the layout won't move.
Your data stays yours
We only ask for an email. No phone number, no access to your contacts, no ads, no reselling. Servers are in Paris; a photo is only visible to the members of the chat it was sent to.
Your people, nobody else.
Echo is free, ad-free, with no scoreboard to win.
