Send a secret message in Morse code

Write anything. It becomes a link, and whoever opens it decodes your message letter by letter. No sign-up, nothing to install.

How should they open it?

How it works

  • Type your message above. You see it turn into Morse as you write.
  • Choose how it opens: they decode it themselves with a key, or it opens with one tap.
  • Share the link on WhatsApp, Instagram, iMessage, Telegram or anywhere else. The picture goes with it.
  • They open the link and work out your message. When they finish, they can reply in Morse right there.

Why a Morse message lands differently

A text is read in a second and forgotten. A message someone has to decode takes effort, and effort is what makes it stick. They match each signal to a letter, the words appear one by one, and the meaning arrives at the end like a small reward.

That is why people use this for the things that matter: an I love you, a birthday, an apology, an invitation, a joke only one person will get. The sender chooses whether the message must be earned or opens with a tap.

What they see when they open it

A dark card with your message written as dots and dashes, and a key with the alphabet underneath. They tap a signal to hear it, then pick its letter. A correct letter fills every place it appears, so even long messages come together quickly. There are no hints and no reveal button in decode mode, because the sender decided it should be solved.

At the end they see how long it took, the whole message plays once in Morse, and they can write a reply. If they answer, you see how long your message took them to decode.

Lost the link?

The message lives inside the link itself. Nothing is stored on a server and nothing expires, so the only copy is the link you were sent. Ask the person who sent it to share it again, or scroll up and write a new one.

If you received a picture of dots and dashes without a link, you can read it with the Morse code translator: type the dots and dashes and the text appears.

Ideas for what to send

  • "I love you", "Marry me", "Happy birthday": the classics, made slow on purpose.
  • A meeting time and place only your friend can read.
  • A treasure hunt clue, a classroom puzzle, a riddle for the group chat.
  • A message to someone learning Morse, so they can practise on something real.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes. Writing, sending and decoding are free and need no account. The link works in any browser on any phone.

Do they need the Morsable app to read it?

No. The link opens a web page where they decode the message. The app is for people who want to learn Morse, play and chat in Morse afterwards.

Can they cheat?

In decode mode there are no hints and no reveal button. A determined person could copy the signals into a translator by hand, but that takes longer than solving it, which is the point.

How long can a message be?

Up to 500 characters. Short messages are more fun to decode; a sentence or two is ideal.

Which languages and alphabets work?

Latin letters, numbers, common punctuation, accented letters like Ü, Ñ and É, and the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. The page itself is available in 25 languages.

Does the message expire or get stored anywhere?

No. The message is encoded inside the link and never sent to a server. As long as the link exists, the message can be opened.
