App: Tact Chat
Developer: Discerning Technologies OÜ
Genres: Social Networking

Tact is a simple chat app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS, using iCloud account for all your chats. It's great for couples, families, and small groups of friends in real life.

Easy to start
No sign up, no account. Get the app, share a link, or connect to people nearby — that’s it — you’re done. You can be whoever you want: all we ask for is a name. Your info is stored with Apple (iCloud Drive required).

People who matter
Tact is great for couples, families and groups of friends. Chat and share simple everyday matters, important or funny — the conversations in Tact are effortless, expressive, and embracing for everyone.

Undiscoverable
On purpose. We have no public directory — you decide who you want to create conversations and chat with. We keep you away from random, unwanted connections. Only talk to the people who matter to you.

Powerful and snappy
DMs or groups. Links with previews. Emoji, Markdown. Edits, emotes, and reactions. Full quality photos and movies. It’s all there. Tact feels at home on your iPhone, iPad or Mac — because it was built for it.

None of our business
Tact is based on your iCloud account. You don’t need to share a thing with us, the team building it. We will never ask for your phone number or contacts. We will never see your chats, or who you talk to.

Zero. Zip. Zilch.
Try it first. If you like it, you pay. That’s how we work. No ads, data harvesting or growth hacks. If something feels off, you can always export your content and leave. No questions asked — this is on us.

Three chats for free
To get started, you can create or join three chats for free. All of Tact’s features will work. If you need more chats, we ask that you purchase our monthly or annual subscription.

Release notes:
FIX: Better behavior when doing a full reinstallation. When you had a lot of data over a longer period of time, Tact did not behave well when you deleted and reinstalled it on a device, or installed it for the first time on a new device. This behavior is now greatly improved. Whenever you think something is wrong with Tact, it is now safe to delete and reinstall it to get everything back. The initial download will still take a while, but this is a one-time process and behaves better and more predictably, and provides better feedback in the UI.

FIX: Improved handling for “first install on device”, “app launch” and “app came to foreground” events.

FIX: Tact shows better error feedback if there is an error during the first run of Tact on a new device.

FIX: Fixed “Non-Latin URL not posting a preview” (#531).

FIX: Better behavior with bandwidth for profile photos. The app would download all profile photos at every startup. It now checks if any profiles or photos have been updated, and only downloads those.

FIX: Corrected name for Settings in copy.

STYLING: New navigation concept. The app now uses more navigation stacks and less sheets. Chat participants and profiles are now shown in a sidebar on macOS and drilldown navigation on iOS, instead of sheets. You can open a conversation directly from profile view.
