Privacy as a
Public Property.
OpenChat is built by contributors around the world who believe free speech and privacy should be the default, not an option.
Total Transparency
Our entire communication engine, from voice processing to encryption, is public property. No hidden analytics, ever.
Freedom to Fork
The project's AGPL-3.0 license ensures you're free to study, modify, and host your own customized chat environment.
Independently Built
No venture capital, no corporate control. We are funded by the people who use the protocol every single day.
Your Server.
Your Community.
Self-hosting OpenChat puts the power back where it belongs. Manage your own keys, database, and voice infrastructure without being tied to a centralized platform.
