About

Secure communications platform built on the Matrix protocol with end-to-end encryption and federation.

Target Audience: Organizations and communities that need secure, decentralized, and self-controlled messaging for internal or cross-company collaboration.
Not ideal for: People who want a simple consumer chat app with minimal setup, no admin controls, and no need for decentralized or self-hosted communication.

What makes it different

  • Federated architecture built on Matrix instead of a single centralized vendor
  • End-to-end encrypted messaging with user-controlled data and keys
  • Self-hosting and on-prem deployment for privacy, compliance, and sovereignty
  • Interoperability through bridges that connect conversations across other chat systems
