Ghost Mode AI Chat Explained
Ghost mode AI chat means conversations are treated as temporary — minimized persistence so sensitive sessions do not linger in history.
Key takeaway: Ghost mode AI chat means conversations are treated as temporary — minimized persistence so sensitive sessions do not linger in history.
Definition
Ghost mode (sometimes called temporary or ephemeral chat) is a product mode where a session is not saved like a normal thread — or is cleared automatically when you close it. The goal is a lower retention footprint for sensitive prompts.
What ghost mode is not
- Not a guarantee the model provider never processed the prompt
- Not a substitute for device hygiene
- Not permission to break the law
- Not the same as end-to-end encryption
When to use it
Use temporary sessions for one-off sensitive drafts, medical wording experiments, or HR scenarios you do not want in a long sidebar history. Use normal saved chats for ongoing projects.
Secrypt direction
Secrypt already emphasizes private chat and local history controls. Ghost mode is on the product roadmap as a clearer temporary-session toggle with a visible indicator — so sensitive threads do not silently accumulate.
Checklist for any ghost/temporary mode
- Look for a clear on/off indicator
- Confirm whether server logs still exist
- Know whether tools (search/fetch) are enabled
- Clear browser data on shared devices
Frequently asked questions
Does Secrypt have ghost mode today?
Ghost mode is a planned product surface. Today you can still clear history and use Settings privacy controls; watch the roadmap for the dedicated toggle.
Is ghost mode fully private?
It reduces persistence. Always read the policy for processing and logging details.
