Tody is a free Indian chat application with private one-to-one and group messaging, HD voice calls, video calls, file sharing, live location, typing indicators, and read receipts. No phone number required. Built on Indian servers with end-to-end encryption.
Tody's chat engine is built for Indian users — fast, reliable, and private. Whether you're messaging one person or coordinating a group of 500, Tody has the features you need.
Send text messages, emojis, photos, videos, documents, and voice notes in private conversations. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, stored on Indian servers, and never shared with third parties.
Create groups for family, friends, work teams, or communities. Share messages, media, and files with up to 500 members. Group admins have full control over permissions, member management, and message moderation.
Make crystal-clear HD voice calls and video calls to individuals or groups. Built on WebRTC technology for low latency even on slower Indian networks. No call charges, no time limits.
Tody's chat platform includes all the modern messaging features Indian users need, plus unique capabilities like live location sharing and Business API integration.
See when the other person is typing in real-time. Typing indicators work in both one-to-one and group chats, so you know when a response is coming.
Know when your message has been delivered and read. Single tick for sent, double tick for delivered, blue double tick for read — with timestamps for full transparency.
Share documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, presentations, ZIP files, and more — up to 100 MB per file. All files are scanned and stored securely on Indian servers.
Share your real-time location with friends, family, or groups. Perfect for meetups, safety check-ins, and coordinating arrivals. Location sharing is opt-in and time-limited.
Every chat and group has a browsable media gallery showing all shared photos, videos, and files. Quickly find that document or photo from months ago without endless scrolling.
Control who can message you, see your online status, view your profile photo, and add you to groups. Block and report users with one tap. Your privacy settings are always under your control.
Tody's chat platform is designed specifically for Indian users — from network optimisation to data residency to language support.
