The Problem

Most people use chat applications that are not private and not ephemeral. This means that messages are not deleted after a certain time and are not private.

The Solution

I built a self-destruct private chat application that deletes messages after a fixed time, ensuring privacy and ephemerality.

Why I Built This

I built Kill Switch because I wanted to create a private and ephemeral chat application that is not available to anyone else.
