Terms of Service

TalkToFriend is an open-source video call app built as a weekend project. It's free, self-hostable, and comes with zero guarantees. Use it, fork it, break it.

What this is

TalkToFriend is a peer-to-peer video calling app licensed under the MIT License. The source code is public. You can run it yourself. You can look at every line of it.

This is not a company. There is no SLA. There is no support team. There is no enterprise tier.

What we (don't) collect

No accounts. No sign-up. No email.
Your name is optional and unverified — type whatever you want.
Room codes are ephemeral and auto-deleted after 24 hours.
Chat messages are stored in SQLite and auto-deleted after 24 hours.
Connection metadata (who's in a room) is held in memory only and never written to disk.
No cookies. No analytics. No tracking pixels. No fingerprinting.

Full details in the privacy policy.

Self-hosting

If you run your own instance of TalkToFriend, you are the operator. You are responsible for how your instance handles user data, compliance with laws in your jurisdiction, your own infrastructure and security, and whatever your users do on your server.

We provide the software. What you do with it is your business.

Usage limits

The public instance (if any) enforces a max of 4 participants per room, rate limiting on room creation, and no persistent storage beyond 24 hours. These limits exist to keep things running, not to upsell you.

No warranty

This software is provided "as-is" under the MIT License. No warranty of any kind — express or implied. It might break. Your call might drop. The server might go down.

By using TalkToFriend, you agree not to hold the author(s) liable for anything that goes wrong. This includes dropped calls, data loss, embarrassing video moments, bad internet, or anything else.
