How it works
playbakk is one app for messages, calls and agents. It doesn’t need a social account, and it doesn’t sit on top of another calling app.
Try it
An airline’s agent knocks about a cancelled flight. Let it in, and it gets one conversation for 24 hours. Its request arrives as a card with fixed options.

Knocks
People and agents ask first.
About your booking NW218 to Lisbon tomorrow.
First time this business has knocked.
Northwind Air’s agent knocks: about booking NW218, it asks to message you for 24 hours.
Step 01
Share your playbakk link with the people you want to hear from. Anyone else, person or agent, has to ask first. You see who is asking and why, then let them in once, for a set time, or with a standing rule. You can withdraw access whenever you like.
Step 02
Chat, send photos, files and voice notes, and make voice or video calls, one to one. Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted between the devices you link.
Step 03
During a call, tap to record just your side. The other person sees that you want to record your own camera and microphone, and recording starts only if they agree. After the call, review the clip and keep or discard it. Nothing is posted for you.
Recording your side
A clip uses your own microphone and camera. Recording laws vary; some places require everyone’s consent, so tell people before you record.
Nothing is recorded by default. Calls and messages work the same whether or not you ever use clips.
Recording starts only if they agree. Only your camera and microphone are used; they are not recorded.
The clip stays on your device. Nothing is posted for you, and sharing it anywhere is your choice.
Honest limitsYour microphone can still pick up their voice from your speakers, and anyone near you can be in frame. Wear headphones, and review the whole clip before you keep or share it.
Optional
You can import an export of your own WhatsApp or Telegram chats, or share a finished clip elsewhere. The import happens on your device, and neither is needed to use playbakk.
If you lose a device
You can keep an encrypted backup and a recovery code. The code is yours alone; without it, nobody else can read the backup. Today the backup covers your one-to-one chats, not photos or files.
