Every other chat app: your messages live on someone else's computer, get scanned, mined, sold, and one day the company changes the rules on you.
RIP Chat: the server runs on YOUR PC. Your messages stay in a folder you can literally look at. Nobody can ban your server, read your DMs, or show your friends an ad. When you close it, it's off.
> One click to host. One link to invite your friends. That's the whole business model: there isn't one.
| THING | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| 🎙️ Voice & video calls | Crisp calls with your crew. Works in the desktop app AND in a plain browser, so nobody has "that one friend who won't install it" problems. |
| 🖥️ Screen share | Share a window or your whole screen — with per-app audio, so your friends hear the game, not your music. |
| 💬 Channels, DMs, reactions | Text channels, private DMs with friends, replies, edits, emoji reactions, image & video uploads. |
| 🌸 LIVE themes | Matrix digital rain. Cherry blossoms drifting across your windows. A certain blue speedster running loops at the bottom of your screen. Plus normal themes for normal people. |
| 👑 Roles & bots | Owner, admins, custom roles with colors and permissions. A dead-simple bot API for tinkerers. |
| 🔗 One-link invites | Built-in tunnel button gives you a public link. Send it. Friends click it. They're in. No port forwarding, no router surgery. |
