Ephemeral Rooms
Every room self-destructs after 10 minutes, or 24 hours with a Day Pass. Nothing persists past that — no chat history sits on a server waiting to leak.
Ephemeral, privacy-first group chat
Chat that disappears.
On purpose.
No signup. No database. No trace. Rooms self-destruct in 10 minutes — built on the same low-latency C++ socket core that powers the rest of the XStreamIO stack.
Everything happens in a room. Nothing outlives it.
No accounts anywhere in this list — every feature works from an anonymous handle.
Public or Private
Create a private room and share the code, or make it public with a topic and let people find it in the room browser. Your call, every time.
File Sharing
Files are relayed socket-to-socket, sender to receiver, over a dedicated binary channel — never written to disk on the server.
Day Pass & Pro
$1 unlocks file sharing in one room for 24 hours. A Pro subscription auto-unlocks every room you host — no account required, just a redeemable code.
Send Money In-Room
Pay someone in your room directly through Stripe Connect. FlashRoom takes a small platform fee and never touches the money itself.
One Codebase, Every Platform
Built in Godot — the same client runs on web, desktop, and mobile with zero platform-specific code to maintain.
One socket engine.
Zero database.
FlashRoom runs on the same high-concurrency C++ core as the rest of the XStreamIO stack. Every room, every message, every file transfer lives in RAM and nowhere else — if the process restarts, it's gone.
- Native performance Boost.Asio / Beast, C++20, no heavy runtime
- Two-channel design JSON control channel + a dedicated binary channel for file relay
- Stripe-native Webhooks drive Day Pass, Pro, and payment state directly — no billing database
- Deploy anywhere Linux binary + Caddy, the same pattern as the rest of the stack

No plans to manage, no accounts to create — just a code you redeem when you want to.
