What the KakaoTalk-style look is for
The KakaoTalk-style look is a messenger layout with a blue-gray wallpaper, yellow bubbles for you and white bubbles for the other person, rounded-square avatars and a name above the other side's first message. It suits stories set in Korea, language lessons and mock-ups where you want a chat that does not look like a phone default. It needs the Standard plan or above.
ChatsRat draws its own interface with original shapes and plain icons, and uses the name KakaoTalk only to describe the style. There is no mascot, logo or app icon, and no affiliation with the company behind the app.
The unread number and the time beside each bubble
Two details make this look read as Korean messaging at once: the time sits beside the bubble instead of inside it, and a small yellow digit 1 marks a message that has not been read yet. Turn read receipts on, mark your last message as unread, and the number appears next to it. It disappears on messages that count as read, which lets one frame tell a whole story about someone not answering.
English or Korean interface
In the editor settings, Interface language switches the labels between English and Korean: the input placeholder, the date pill (written as year, month, day and weekday) and times such as 오후 2:05. The messages themselves are whatever you type, so write the bubbles in Korean when you make a lesson, and keep translations in a caption or slide rather than inside the chat image.
What this look supports
Read receipts are supported. Reactions, a typing indicator and an online status are not, so do not plan a scene around a typing pause. Build tension with the unread number, with short replies, and with the gap between timestamps.
Tips
- Mark your last message as unread so the yellow digit is visible next to it.
- Write learner-level Korean in short bubbles, and put the translation in a caption.
- Use a clear time gap such as 오후 2:05 then 오후 2:40 to show a delayed answer.
- Check every character in the live preview before you export, especially names.
Questions
Which plan do I need for the KakaoTalk-style look?
The Standard plan or above. The Free plan has a smaller set of looks. The plans page lists exactly what each plan includes.
Can the labels be in Korean?
Yes. Open the settings and set Interface language to Korean. The placeholder, the date pill and the times then follow Korean conventions. Your own message text is exactly what you type.
Is this made by or connected to KakaoTalk?
No. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by KakaoTalk or its company. The name only describes the style, and the interface artwork is original.
Can I add a typing indicator?
No. This look does not offer a typing indicator, reactions or an online status. It does offer read receipts, shown as the small unread number.
Use it for simulated, labelled content. ChatsRat makes mock-ups and fictional conversations for creators, designers and teachers. Do not use it to pass off a made-up conversation as a real one, to impersonate a real person, or as proof of anything. See the Acceptable Use policy.
About the watermark. Exports on the Free plan carry a visible ChatsRat watermark, and every export carries an invisible mark that the verify page can read. Plans list what changes on paid plans.
