# Full description (max. 4000 characters)
Delta Chat is a messaging app that is completely
compatible with the existing e-mail infrastructure.
Delta Chat feels like Whatsapp or Telegram but without centralized tracking
and selling of user data. Delta Chat is technically an e-mail application
but looks like a modern chat interface. E-Mail in a new dress if you will.
All data is stored on your devices only. No Addressbook or other personal data is going anywhere.
There simply are no Delta Chat servers where anything could go to.
So, with Delta Chat you get the ease of well-known messengers
with the reach of e-mail.
Moreover, you're independent from other companies or services --
as your data are not related to Delta Chat,
you won't even add new dependencies here.
Chat with anyone out of billions of people: just use their e-mail address.
It's fine if your contacts answer with their own mail program.
They don't need to install Delta Chat or visit some website.
If you send a picture, audio message or document to a Chat group
your chat recipients will see a nice regular e-mail with an attachment.
If they send a picture or document back, you will see it in your Chat
for this contact. It's that simple.
Some features at a glance:
DeltaChat sends e-mails using your e-mail account and provider of choice.
Your mobile number does not matter. You don't need to have a mobile
number in order to use DeltaChat and you can change mobile numbers without
causing any trouble for DeltaChat.

DeltaChat offers instant chatting and synchronization across devices.
Messages sent on one device will quickly show up on other devices.
There is an early iPhone version and downloads for Linux and Mac OS Laptops.
Windows support is in the works. All Desktop versions can be used standalone.
There is no need to have an Android or iPhone setup.
Delta Chat is a relatively young project for what it offers already.
It employs a pragmatic and usability-driven approach to decentralized messaging.
No re-inventing of wheel technology unless it causes actual trouble or concern.
Most popular programming languages and many human languages are involved
in the development of Delta Chat apps and the various activities around it.
We rather often think about removing technology than adding yet more of it.
Trying to keep things maintainable and understandable.
We are grateful for any help, be it contributing good bug reports, helping
other users on the forum, participating in our open development with PRs and reviews,
translations to more languages, working on new bots ... or a donation if you can.
We currently use donations to enable contributors to join us at our repeated one-week
long gatherings -- where we develop and user-test with locals and evolve
new directions and plans.
