WA WEB ULTRA

Your WhatsApp Web, private by default.

One click blurs names, messages and media. A PIN locks the whole tab. It runs on your computer — no servers of ours, no accounts, no sign-up.

Privacy · Blur

Blur exactly what you want, and nothing else.

Turn on blur for just the things you care about — names, previews, message text, media, voice notes, or whole group panels. Reveal on hover un-blurs only what is under your cursor, so you can read one chat while the rest stays hidden. Tune the blur strength (1–20px) and the hover delay, or let it auto-blur after 30 seconds idle.

Privacy · Presentation Mode

About to share your screen?

Presentation Mode blurs everything the instant you switch tabs or the window loses focus — and reveals it the moment you come back. No panic, no scrambling for the window before the call sees your chats.

Privacy · Lock screen

Lock the whole tab behind a PIN.

A 4-digit PIN covers WhatsApp Web completely. Lock instantly with Ctrl+Shift+L (⌘⇧L on Mac), or let it auto-lock after a chosen idle time. The PIN is stored only as a salted hash — it can be checked, never read back. It is protection from the person walking past your desk, not from someone with full access to your computer.

Everything else it does

A set of quiet, local tools that make WhatsApp Web faster to work in — no account, no cloud, nothing sent to us.

  • Quick Chat

    Message any phone number without saving it first — the conversation opens in place, with no page reload.

  • Status Download

    Save a status you are viewing as its real file — .mp4 or .jpg — straight to your Downloads folder.

  • Export Contacts

    Download your chat list as a CSV file, entirely on your own machine.

  • Message Templates

    Keep canned messages and drop one into the compose box with a single click.

  • Smart Replies

    When an incoming message matches a keyword, it suggests a reply and inserts it into the compose box. You review and send.

  • Assisted Send

    Step through a list of contacts one at a time, with your template pre-filled for each. You press send every time.

  • Tasks & Reminders

    A local to-do list with an optional due date, a linked contact, and a desktop reminder.

  • Business Toolbar

    A floating, draggable toolbar that keeps the productivity tools within reach as you work.

  • Quick Contact Saver

    Save a name and number, then open a chat with them in one click.

  • Theme Color

    Recolor WhatsApp Web's accent from nine preset swatches.

  • Custom Backgrounds

    Six preset chat wallpapers — White, Aurora, Dusk, Emerald, Sunset and Noir.

  • Tools & Utilities

    Small local helpers: a character counter, quick-open, and a JSON export.

We can't see any of this. By design.

  • Runs entirely in your browser
  • No servers, no accounts, no sign-up
  • No analytics, ads or trackers inside the extension
  • No remote code — everything ships in the package

(This website uses Google Analytics to count visits. The extension sends nothing on its own — the only exception is the opt-in Message Translator, which sends a message’s text to a translation service when you tap Translate. Details.)

Questions, answered honestly

Is this safe to use? Does it touch my account?
It runs locally in your browser on web.whatsapp.com and adds an on-page layer over the interface you already use. It has no server of its own and never sends your messages, contacts or media anywhere. It signs in to nothing and stores nothing off your device.
Does it work on the WhatsApp phone app?
No. It is a browser extension for WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com) in a desktop browser. It does not touch the mobile app.
Do you see my messages?
No. We run no server, so your messages never reach us — everything the extension does happens on your own computer. The one exception is the optional Message Translator: when you tap Translate on a message, its text is sent to a third-party translation service (not to us) to translate it. It is off by default and only runs on your click.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Install it and it works.
What happens to my settings if I uninstall?
Chrome deletes the extension's local storage when you remove it — your settings, templates, tasks and PIN hash go with it. Nothing is kept anywhere else, because nothing was ever stored anywhere else.
Is it free?
Yes — the whole thing is free. There are no paid tiers, no trial countdown and no checkout.
I forgot my PIN.
The PIN is stored only as a salted hash, so it cannot be looked up or recovered. Removing and reinstalling the extension clears its local storage — including the PIN hash — which lets you set a fresh PIN. You will also reset your other settings by doing this.
Does it work in Edge and Brave?
Yes. Edge and Brave are built on the same engine as Chrome, so it works in all three at version 111 or newer.
Why does it need the downloads permission?
Only to save a file when you explicitly ask — a status as an .mp4/.jpg, or your chat list as a CSV. No download ever starts on its own or in the background.

What's new

Version history, newest first.

  1. v1.0.14

    Everything WA WEB ULTRA does — now with message translation, five languages and a faster launch.

    • Granular blur for the chat list, conversations and group panels, with reveal-on-hover, adjustable intensity and auto-blur on idle.
    • Presentation Mode — auto-blur the moment the window loses focus, for safe screen-sharing.
    • PIN lock screen with a salted-hash PIN, instant lock, and an adjustable auto-lock idle time (1–5 minutes) — accepts your PIN reliably even when WhatsApp Web tries to grab focus.
    • Message Translator — translate any incoming message inline (tap to see the translation, tap again for the original), and translate your own message before you send it. Optional, and only when you tap Translate; the selected text is sent to a third-party translation service for that request.
    • Quick Switcher — press Ctrl+K (⌘K) to jump to any chat instantly, and pin your favourites to the top.
    • Text Snippets — type a short trigger and it expands to a saved phrase right in the compose box.
    • Productivity tools: Quick Chat, Status Download (now save every status from a contact in one click), Export Contacts, Message Templates, Smart Replies, Assisted Send, Tasks & Reminders, Business Toolbar, Quick Contact Saver and Tools & Utilities.
    • Five languages — the whole extension now speaks English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and Indonesian, with full right-to-left layout.
    • Personalization: accent colors plus an app-wide chat wallpaper that flows across the conversation and the chat list, with a live slider for how strongly it shows and a light/dark text option so names stay readable.
    • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+X toggles the whole page between blurred and clear (your per-item settings are kept), Ctrl+Shift+L (⌘⇧L on Mac) locks the tab.
    • A smoother, faster launch, a polished popup entrance, and lighter rendering for older machines.
    • Runs on-device — no accounts, no analytics or trackers in the extension. The only time anything leaves your device is the optional Message Translator, when you tap Translate.

Take your privacy back on WhatsApp Web.
