No accounts

Fleet requires no sign-up, no email, no password. You choose a username per session — it exists only in your browser’s sessionStorage and is gone when you close the tab.

No persistent storage

Fleet stores nothing on disk. All rooms and messages live in the server’s memory. When the server restarts or a room expires, everything is gone. There are no:
  • Databases
  • Log files containing message content
  • Analytics on message content
  • User accounts or profiles

Ephemerality

Every room has a 30-minute TTL that begins when the last user leaves. This is enforced server-side — there is no way to extend a room’s life beyond its TTL.

What the server does see

While Fleet is privacy-focused, be aware that:
  • The server processes all messages in-memory to relay them to other users in the room — it does not log them, but it does handle them
  • IP addresses may appear in server logs depending on your hosting environment
  • Room names are visible to anyone running the server process

Self-hosting

For maximum privacy, self-host Fleet on infrastructure you control. This way you’re the only one with access to the server process.
