Private by design

Instant QRs for conversation

Put a QR on your listing, sign or card. People scan it and message you, and neither of you sees the other's number.

Message someone by their code

Type the code from their sign or listing, scan their QR, or upload a picture of it. No sign-up needed.

How it works

Three steps, and your number stays yours.

  1. 1

    Create a topic

    Name it, like "Maple St flat" or "Blue Honda, MH12". You get a QR and a short code to go with it.

  2. 2

    Put it where people look

    Print it on a sign, stick it on your car, add it to a listing, or send the link from short.talk's WhatsApp.

  3. 3

    Talk, privately

    Messages arrive like an app's, with voice calls if you allow them. Close the code and it simply stops working.

Uses

Anywhere you'd otherwise write your number.

Your number is never part of the conversation

You sign in with your mobile number, and that's where it stays. People reach you through a code you control.
