A fresh look at
familiar conversations.
Try the Mac beta and tell us what you find. Your feedback will help shape Chatstalgia’s next chapter.

03 / A NOTE ON PRIVACY
Your chats are personal.
In the Mac app
Privacy details pending review. Before publication, we need to verify and describe the app’s message access and processing against its source or release documentation. This website does not yet provide a verified description of the app’s data handling.
When you share feedback
Email feedback includes the information you choose to send and your email address. If a Tally form is enabled, information you submit will be sent through Tally. Review the form’s privacy information before submitting. Keep private conversations out of your feedback.
