cut·laAustralian slang for “couple of”
As in, a couple of friends. Not an audience, not a network. The few people you would actually call — made easy to reach when a call feels like too much.
How it works
Three small steps.
Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Then it is just you, a microphone, and the people you choose.
ii.
Add a friend
Search by username or share an invite link. A connection only becomes a friendship after the other person accepts. Two-way, always.
iii.
Say something
Open a friend’s profile, record, listen back, and send. Not quite right? Redo it before it goes anywhere.
Temporary by design
Said, heard, let go.
- 7 daysOne-to-one messages expire seven days after sending.
- 24 hoursOpening a message shortens access to no more than 24 hours, within that seven-day limit.
- No autoplayMessages do not play automatically. You press play when you are ready.
After expiry, your voice messages are automatically deleted from Cutla’s active storage—not kept as a conversation archive.
Deletion removes the encrypted audio and its message record during scheduled cleanup, not necessarily at the moment of expiry. Circle audio is deleted once no recipient still has access. Account, relationship, and some operational information remain as described in the Privacy Policy. This does not guarantee deletion of copies on other devices or in backups.
Privacy, plainly
Private conversations.
Temporary messages.
Your voice messages are shared with your chosen friend or the intended members of your Circle. They are encrypted on your device before upload, and access expires. Account and delivery information is still needed to run Cutla—see the Privacy Policy for what is stored and when it is removed.

Encrypted on your device
Voice audio is encrypted on your device before upload. The service stores encrypted audio, plus the encrypted key material the participating devices need to play it. Message details such as timestamps and expiry are still handled to deliver messages.
You stay in control
Mute, remove, or block a friend from their safety menu. Add an optional biometric lock — the app never receives your face or fingerprint data.
Leave whenever you like
Delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete Account. It is permanent, and different from simply signing out.
Friends
Just the two of you.
One-to-one voice messages are intended for the sender and recipient. Each friendship shows your days together and a recent exchange streak — a quiet record, nothing to chase.
Circles
A few, together.
Share voice messages with a small group. Each member gets their own listening window, and new members cannot hear messages sent before they joined.
Status
Coming soon to the App Store.
Cutla for iPhone has been submitted to Apple and is not yet released. Until then, the quietest way to follow along is on Instagram.
