At times, technology could be your biggest giveaway - a suspicious text, misdirected email or poorly-timed call can unravel any relationship. Thankfully, now you have a confidante, a secret app, billed as the 'Snapchat for professionals', to keep certain things private and well-guarded. And good heavens, it's immune to NSA spies too.

Aptly named as Confide, the text-based iOS app has been created by former AOL executive, Jon Brod, and chief executive of Yext Howard Lerman.

The New York-based team also plan to creating a version for business professional so that they can keep sensitive communication secret.

'We don’t have the technology to read your messages,' Mr Lerman told Businessweek.

'Confide doesn’t store any messages on its servers, it doesn't have the ability to retrieve them if a company, or the National Security Agency, comes knocking.’

Confide is different from Snapchat in that it connects potential users through their email addresses rather than their phone contacts.

Mr Lerman added, “It’s also difficult to take screenshots of messages sent through Confide due to the app's interface.It includes end-to-end encryption and Confide doesn’t possess a retrievable copy of the message. This means that both the company and users can respond to disclosure demands by stating that the message in question has simple disappeared.”

But just like hackers have found ways to crack into Snapchat, it remains to be seen how secured Confide is.
