We created Confide to bring off-the-record professional communication to the digital world. We think this is fundamentally broken and we set out to fix it. Why should all of our online communication be around forever, with copies of things being spewed and stored in people’s inboxes and the Cloud? Imagine if everything you ever SAID (spoken words) were stored like that and the person you said it to had a copy of it. We think the concept of the digital permanent record is crazy. We are bringing this offline experience online, in a fast, easy and efficient way.

Off-the-record conversations happen all the time in the offline world - phone calls, hallway discussions, meet-ups, grabbing lunch or coffee. More specifically, common use cases include: Job referrals, HR issues, deal discussions, and even some good-natured office gossip.

They’re gone for good - no forwarding, no printing and no archiving. Receive messages from your friends and colleagues, “wand” over the words with your finger or mouse to read them, and watch them disappear without a trace when you’re done.

It allows you to speak freely, without the risk of what you say being forwarded on or permanently stored, just like when you’re talking in person. It allows you to have honest, unfiltered, off-the-record conversations.
