Delta Chat2.62.0

Delta Chat lets you exchange instant messages in a chat-style interface while using email infrastructure to carry conversations. It is designed as a secure, reliable, decentralised messenger, so communication can continue across participating email services instead of depending on one central chat network. One-to-one and group conversations can include text, photos, documents, voice messages, and other shared files.

The application supports encrypted conversations where compatible contacts establish end-to-end protection, while familiar chat features such as replies, reactions, and read indicators help organise active discussions. Its email-based design also makes it useful for contacting people who use different providers or communication systems. It suits personal conversations, community groups, and situations where participants want messaging that is not tied to a single company’s servers.

Delta Chat is freeware, and the current release is 2.62.0. This edition runs on macOS 12 Monterey or later and requires Apple Silicon hardware using the arm64 architecture. People selecting it should therefore have a supported Mac and an email setup that can participate in Delta Chat’s messaging system. The program is aimed at users who want private, decentralised chat with the reach and interoperability associated with email.
