The chat app that
respects you.
Open-source, self-hosted, and built for people who care about privacy.
Everything you need.
Not a bloated platform. A focused tool that does what matters.
Real-Time Messaging
Instant delivery, channels, groups, and file sharing.
Voice & Video
Crystal-clear calls powered by LiveKit.
Calls survive refresh
Active voice calls persist through page reloads and reconnect automatically (server-side call state).
Graceful reconnection
A 10-second grace period absorbs network drops before ending a call.
Friend-only presence
Online/offline status is only broadcast to friends, not the whole system.
Open Source
Audit every line. Self-host on your own server. No black boxes.
Built with care
A modern, open-source stack you can audit and self-host.
