Run Keybase on PC or Mac

Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out Keybase, a Social app by Keybase, Inc. on BlueStacks.

Keybase feels like a private chat app for people who want real security without swapping phone numbers or email addresses. Someone can message a handle from places like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, GitHub, or even Hacker News, and it keeps everything locked from end to end so only the people in the chat see it. It comes off simple on the surface, but the identity part is neat, since it ties conversations to public usernames instead of random numbers. There are no ads getting in the way, and it is free, which makes it easy to keep using daily.

On a PC with BlueStacks, it behaves like a clean desktop messenger. Typing long messages with a keyboard feels faster, and switching between chats is smooth. Messages follow a person from phone to computer and stay encrypted the whole time, so moving to a new device is not a chore. It is open source, and there are native desktop builds too, if someone wants to live on a laptop full time. The tone of the app is refreshingly normal, even a little polite, with a simple ask that everyone be decent online. Settings are straightforward, and there is a built in feedback spot if something feels off or if there is a suggestion to share. It is a calm, no drama way to stay in touch without handing out personal contact info.

BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
