What Is Ghost Mode, and What Does It Actually Change?

Ordinary forwarding is done by your own account, which means your account is active at the exact moment each message moves. Ghost Mode changes that: you remain invisible like a phantom while forwarding. This page is about what you get, in plain terms, and about the limits we are not going to pretend away.

What you get

  • Your account does not go online when a message is relayed.
  • There is no signal that connects the copied messages to you.
  • The relaying cannot be traced back to your account.
  • Everything else works the same: filters, replacements, header and footer, several destinations.

Why the timing is the part that matters

Without it, an account that relays a busy channel is active dozens of times a day, always a second or two after the source publishes. Anyone comparing the two chats sees the correlation without needing anything clever: the pattern is the giveaway, not the content.

Ghost Mode removes that correlation. The messages arrive in your destination; your account is not doing anything visible at that moment.

What it does not claim

We are deliberately precise here, because the opposite is easy to sell and impossible to guarantee. Anyone who reads both chats can see that the same posts appear in both โ€” that is true of any copy, including a manual one, and no product can change it. What Ghost Mode addresses is the link back to your account, not the existence of the copy.

It also does not hide anything inside the messages themselves. If the content names you, the content names you.

Setting it up

It is switched on per rule, so one rule can use it while another does not. The dashboard walks through the setup for each destination and tells you if something is still pending: you do not have to work it out from a guide, and if a step is missing it is shown on the rule itself rather than failing silently.

Which plans include it

Ghost Mode starts on the Gold plan. It is not part of the 7-day trial, which covers everything else โ€” we would rather write that here than let you discover it on day three. The plan comparison is on the pricing page.

Common questions

What does Ghost Mode do?

It lets you stay invisible while forwarding: your account does not go online when a message is relayed, and the relaying cannot be traced back to it. Filters, replacements and multiple destinations all keep working as usual.

Can someone tell that my channel is a copy of another one?

Anyone who reads both chats can see that the same posts appear in both, and no product can change that โ€” it is equally true of copying by hand. What Ghost Mode addresses is the link back to your account.

Is Ghost Mode included in the free trial?

No. The 7-day trial covers everything except Ghost Mode and the AI features. Ghost Mode starts on the Gold plan.

Do I have to choose it for every rule?

It is a per-rule switch, so you can use it where it matters and leave it off elsewhere. The dashboard shows what is still needed for each destination.
