ephIM is an ephemeral social messaging network that is secure, flexible, and hassle free.

- Create and share an unlimited number of FREE text, video, image, and voice recorded chat channels
- Chats are ephemeral meaning they wont stick around for long (hourly PERMANENT deletion)
- Free companion website gives everyone access to created channels
- Securely sync screen names from the app to the website
- Automatically syncs channels, screen names, and favorites across all of your iOS devices securely
- Setup notifications to be alerted when someone posts to a channel(s) of your choice
- One tap ability to block any users photos, videos or messages
- Upgrade channels via in-app purchases to suit your needs for privacy, security, and control
- Upgrades include strong encryption, channel PIN access, and channel wipe on demand
- Customized interfaces for both iPhone and iPad to take full advantage of different device sizes

Channel types for all situations (all using SSL) with options for additional strong encryption:

Want to setup a quick channel to discuss todays game? Create a free one in seconds and start offering your analysis. Someone getting out of hand that needs to be silenced? Immediately ban the annoying nuisance with only a few taps.

Want to setup a channel that everyone can read but only you or select members can post to? Upgrade and create a secure PIN that will be required in order to post.

Want to have a totally private conversation that no one but who you decide can see? Want to make sure that even "Big Brother" cannot read it? Want to control how often and when messages are permanently deleted? PIN required to access channel, automatic encryption, and more. Upgrade for the ultimate in privacy and security.

No personal information is asked for or collected, EVER. No information about your social networks or iOS contact lists is ever accessed. This is freedom from intrusion, from "Big Brother", and from companies looking to use your personal data for their gain.

"If you love to chat, but you don’t want to worry about saying the wrong thing without it coming back to haunt you, ephIM may be just the app you’re looking for." -- appPicker.com, June 26 2015.

Privacy policy, terms of use, security information, video tutorials and more available on the website and in the app.

Finally you can chat with confidence and freedom. Your privacy is NEVER ephemeral!
