Our free tier is drastically expanded. With the addition of P2P, free users can use all features of Cloak; they’ll just have to have paid members opt into sharing their screen or webcam as P2P for you to partake. We’ve added guards to ensure you’re aware of the risks every time you go to connect or start a P2P stream or webcam.
@stupidtechtakes Yeah, I suppose at their scale, nothing is really ever going to be “cheap.” I’m sure they have a better deal with Google, and other optimizations like not sending data when nobody is actually talking, AFK timeouts, and so on probably help with that even more.
GIVEAWAY: Win a LIFETIME of Cloak Pro, our highest subscription for you + up to 5 friends.
Cloak is the privacy-first chat platform with Signal-level encryption and Discord-like features. And we’re giving away lifetime Pro access to one winner and their crew.

Your group chat deserves better privacy
Released a hotfix for emojis acting funny in the chat window, and an extensive ADA compliance pass. Nowhere near perfect but a huge step in the right direction.
0.7.8 is out now. This includes a lot of bug fixes and new features. We're also now going to give a lifetime tier 1 to all users who help us during this beta test. We're going to honor that for anyone that signs up between now and the end of April or when we go open beta, whichever is sooner.
"Only criminals care about privacy."
Your bank encrypts transactions.
Your doctor locks medical records.
Your lawyer seals case files.
You whisper secrets.
You password-protect your phone.
Privacy isn't paranoia, it's how basic trust works.
Hey folks fleeing Discord, here's a heads-up about those "free" chat alts using Cloudflare's RealtimeKit (RTK). RTK is free during the beta phase, but charges will start after that. So apps advertising unlimited free voice/video might not survive when the bills hit.
Most truly free Discord alternatives require self-hosting everything or sell your data to the highest bidder. With Cloak, we don't ask you to deal with that. Our mission is to make something as easy to use, safe, and private as possible.
