Last checked 2026-11-07. The full comparison is on AChat and Yopass.

How to move across

1. Open AChat on the machine that has what you need and choose Create room. No account or phone number.
2. Set a password if the room shouldn't be open to anyone with the link (passwords and encryption).
3. Send your message or file, then open the room's link on the other machine and take it (file sharing).
4. Delete what you sent, or let it expire (anonymous rooms). The room stays open for replies until then.
