# TalkToPlanB

> TalkToPlanB is a free, secure WhatsApp alternative with real-time group and direct messaging, voice messages, and file sharing. It runs on Android and in any web browser, syncs phone and web in real time, and hosts data in Malaysia. It also offers an open developer REST API, webhooks, and an MCP server so developers and AI agents can send and read messages.

TalkToPlanB is best for people and communities who want an independent, private messenger they control — and for developers or AI agents that need a messaging channel.
