Servers

Create community spaces with text and voice channels, organised into categories.

Voice, video and screen-sharing

Calls in any voice channel or DM, built on LiveKit, with noise suppression and voice filters.

Encrypted calls

Voice, camera and screen-shares are encrypted with a per-call key the media server never sees. Messages and uploaded files are not end-to-end encrypted.

Private channels

Direct messages and group chats between two or more people, with text and voice.

Roles and permissions

Granular, deny-first permissions for every server and channel.

Self-hosted

Run your own instance with Docker Compose. The desktop and mobile apps sign in to any instance.
