Everhello

Everhello is video messaging for the people you actually talk to. Record a short video note and send it. They watch when they have a minute and reply the same way, so you both skip the scheduling and still get the face, the voice and the laugh. Everything is free. There is no paid tier and nothing to unlock. - Send as you record. Friends can start watching while you are still talking, or catch up later. Either way, nothing is lost. - Groups. Family, the crew, the team. Anyone in a group can add people; the person who started it keeps it tidy. - Transcripts, made on your phone. Search what was said without your audio ever leaving your device. Turn it off any time. - Reactions while you watch, notes when a video is too much, and a watch-later queue for the long ones. - Schedule a message for the morning. Mark one urgent when it matters. - Keep my messages on this phone. An encrypted copy stays with you even after the cloud copy expires. - Messages stay as long as the conversation is alive. They only expire when everyone has been away for more than a year, and until then whoever sent one can delete it for everyone. Privacy is the design, not a setting. You sign in with your phone number and it stays inside Google's sign-in service. Finding friends uses one-way hashes, never your contact list. There is no analytics software. One sponsored card appears in the chat list, never inside a conversation, a recording or a video, and where the law requires it you choose whether ads can be personalized. Everhello is supported by that one ad, which is how every feature stays free.
