KeeperChat

With the ever-growing threats and data theft attempts, it is only normal that computer users focus more and more on privacy. All the more so when they want to exchange sensitive or private information and documents via their favorite chat tool. Having that in mind, the creators of the Keeper password manager developed KeeperChat, a secure messaging application that allows Windows 10 users to send and receive encrypted messages, while also providing other privacy-oriented features.

KeeperChat is a Windows Store app that can only be installed on a Windows 10 computer. Once deployed, it prompts the user to either enter their personal email to create an account or login, or provide enterprise SSO login data. Please keep in mind that a valid phone number and an email address are mandatory to create a personal account with KeeperChat.

Once logged in, you will be able to explore the application’s main interface, which offers one-click access to chat windows, the contact list and the built-in media gallery. Upon the first launch, you are prompted to send invites to your contacts, allowing them to download the app and create accounts. If they do so, they are automatically included in your contact list.

Most of the main window is taken by the chat area, which displays all the sent and received messages. You can also share media files with your contacts, take photos with the built-in camera of your computer or send them attachments. The assortment of GIFs and funny stickers at your disposal can make conversations more entertaining.

All the contacts are listed in the designated area, where you can see details about the KeeperChat account of each. Right by it, you should be able to access the media gallery, which stores photos and MP4 videos, which you can then easily share with others.

The utmost feature of KeeperChat is its capability to securely encrypt the messages you are sending, thus making your conversations more secure. It can configure each message to self-destruct, all to protect your privacy.

Most messaging applications do not have an undo button so, in case you sent something you regret, there is no going back. But KeeperChat enables you to retract your messages if you sent the wrong thing to the wrong person, offering you more control over the content you share.
