Ameeba Chat
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about Ameeba Chat, Notes, Secret Note, Calls, Pods, Spaces, encryption, aliases, and how private communication works across the wider Ameeba ecosystem.
The basics of Ameeba Chat, how to begin, and how the core experience fits together.
Ameeba Chat is encrypted chat built for separated communication, sensitive conversations, and ideas that should stay yours. It brings together messaging, calls, conferencing, notes, file sharing, Pods, and Spaces inside one private system.
Download the app, create your alias, and begin communicating privately. You do not need a phone number, email, or personal profile to get started.
Yes. Ameeba Chat is free to download and use. Other Ameeba products and services may be offered separately depending on the workflow or deployment.
Yes. Ameeba is available on iOS, Android, and the web, so you can communicate securely across devices.
Ameeba Chat is the communication layer of the Ameeba ecosystem. It connects with Notes, Secret Note, Pods, Spaces, authentication, and Pseudopod so communication and work can stay inside one private environment.
How your alias works and how communication stays separated from your real identity.
No. Ameeba uses encrypted identifiers and patented authentication technology so you can sign up without providing a phone number, email, or personal profile. Your communication does not have to be tied to your real-world identity.
No. Ameeba Chat works on connected devices over Wi-Fi or your organization’s local network, so you do not need a SIM card to use it. A SIM may still be used for carrier service on your device, but it is not required for Ameeba itself.
An alias is the name you use inside Ameeba instead of your real identity. Ameeba is designed around one alias per user, giving you one stable identity inside the system without tying it to your real name, phone number, or email.
Pods help you organize different contexts such as work, family, projects, or communities under one alias. They add separation and structure without making you manage multiple identities.
Ameeba uses aliases instead of personal identity. Your alias is not tied to your real name, phone number, email, or contacts, and communication stays encrypted between the intended people and devices.
Ameeba is built for separated communication. One alias gives you a stable private identity, Pods help you organize your own contexts, and Spaces help verified organizations structure teams and workflows without forcing everything through one public profile.
Pods are private categories you use under your alias to organize different parts of your life or work, such as Friends, Family, Work, or Communities. They help keep communication intentionally separated without requiring multiple aliases.
Pods help keep communication organized and privacy boundaries clearer. By separating different parts of your life into Pods, it becomes easier to keep conversations, files, and coordination in the right context.
Pods reduce crossover between contexts. They help keep conversations compartmentalized so work, communities, personal life, and sensitive discussions stay more intentionally separated under one alias.
How writing, private capture, and sensitive sharing work across Ameeba.
Ameeba Notes is your private note system across the Ameeba ecosystem. It is designed for capturing ideas, storing important information, and keeping notes available across Chat and Pseudopod.
Yes. Ameeba Notes are end-to-end encrypted, so only you and your authorized devices can access the contents.
Yes. Notes are designed to work across Chat and Pseudopod, so your writing stays available across the wider Ameeba environment instead of being isolated in one app.
Secret Note is a secure sharing workflow for sensitive information such as passwords, one-time instructions, personal handoffs, recovery details, or private messages that should be handled more carefully than a normal chat.
Secret Notes are end-to-end encrypted when sent to contacts inside Ameeba. When a Secret Note is created outside Ameeba through the frontend web page, it is encrypted for secure delivery, but that external web flow is different from in-app end-to-end encrypted delivery.
Use Notes for your ongoing private writing across Ameeba. Use Secret Note when you need a more controlled sharing flow for something sensitive, temporary, or intentionally restricted.
Yes. Secret Note supports encrypted sharing outside the core app flow through the frontend web experience, making it useful when the recipient is not already communicating with you inside Ameeba.
How day-to-day communication works, from direct messages to larger private meetings.
You can add people with a secure invite link, an in-person QR code scan, or an invite code. Ameeba does not access your contacts or address book. Once accepted, both of you can chat securely using aliases.
Yes. You can create group chats and share a secure invite link with others. No personal information or phone number is needed to join.
Yes. Ameeba supports private audio and video calling directly inside the communication flow, so you do not have to switch to a separate product just to move from chat to live conversation.
Yes. Ameeba supports conferencing for private coordination and live collaboration. The calling experience is built into the broader communication system rather than being treated as a separate identity-driven meeting platform.
Ameeba is designed to reduce the friction of traditional meeting workflows. Calls and conferencing are built into the private communication environment, so the experience stays simpler and more direct than link-heavy meeting tools.
Yes. Ameeba Chat can be used for both personal and professional communication, especially when you want clearer separation between contexts and a more private place to share sensitive information or early ideas.
Yes. Ameeba allows text, image, or video status updates. Visibility is designed to stay more controlled than public social platforms.
How files, Pods, collaboration structure, and private organization work together.
Pods are private categories you use under your alias to organize chats, notes, files, and communication into clearer personal contexts instead of leaving everything in one flat list.
Use a Pod when you want to separate a personal or communication context under your alias, such as Work, Family, Projects, or Communities.
Spaces are structured environments for verified organizations using Nucleus. They help organize teams, people, and workflows into clearer shared environments.
Your alias is your stable Ameeba identity. Pods help you organize your own communication and content under that alias. Spaces are for verified organizations that need shared structure across teams, projects, or departments.
Ameeba Vault is the encrypted file storage system within the Ameeba ecosystem. Files are encrypted on your device before upload and stored privately. When you share a file in Ameeba Chat, it is delivered securely from your Vault.
Yes. Files stored in Ameeba Vault remain encrypted and are only accessible during authorized sessions. This helps keep documents, images, and media private across the Ameeba environment.
How encryption, authentication, data handling, and recovery are approached inside Chat.
Yes. Ameeba's patented authentication system uses encrypted identifiers to verify access while helping prevent impersonation and unauthorized use. It protects sessions without requiring or exposing personal data.
Yes. Communication in Ameeba is protected with modern encryption, and core messaging and file workflows are designed around end-to-end encrypted delivery to the intended people and devices.
Ameeba Chat is built to give you a more private place to share sensitive conversations, drafts, and ideas with less exposure to public systems. It is designed for communication that should stay with the people involved instead of becoming broadly exposed.
No. Ameeba does not log, store, or associate IP addresses with your account, alias, or communication sessions.
Ameeba does not store phone numbers, emails, contacts, or personal profiles as part of the core identity model. It is built around encrypted identifiers and private communication instead.
No. Ameeba is designed so that private message and note contents are not readable by the platform. Encryption and key handling are structured to keep contents limited to the intended people and authorized devices.
If you lose your device, your encrypted data remains protected. Recovery and continuity depend on your Ameeba authentication and access setup.
