Your community. Nobody else's business.

Encrypted servers, voice, and channels that work like Discord — without the surveillance.

Same conversation. Very different views.

The difference between hoping your data is safe and knowing it is.

We can't read your messages. We don't know who you are. That's the point.

Built for privacy, designed for people

Everything you love about Discord. Nothing it knows about you.

Encrypted by default

Every message is end-to-end encrypted using the MLS protocol — the same standard adopted by the IETF for secure group messaging. You don’t turn encryption on. There is no way to turn it off.

Voice that stays private

Drop into voice channels just like you’d expect. Audio is encrypted end-to-end with keys derived from your group’s MLS session. The server relays audio it cannot hear.

Servers, channels, threads

Organize your community the way you already know how. Create servers, add text and voice channels, spin up threads. The structure is familiar. The privacy is not.

Roles you control

Assign roles, set channel permissions, moderate your community. All role and permission data is stored as encrypted CRDTs — not on a corporate server you don’t own.

No ID. No email. No phone.

Create an account with a recovery phrase. That’s it. No face scan, no phone number, no email address. Your identity is a key pair, and you decide what name to show.

Your infrastructure or ours

Run a supernode on your own hardware, or let us host one for you. Either way, the server only sees encrypted blobs it cannot read. Self-host for free, or get a managed supernode from $5/month.

Every line, auditable

The client, the server, the protocol — all open source. You don’t have to trust our claims. Read the code, build from source, verify everything.

All your devices

Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. One codebase, native performance, consistent experience. Your community lives wherever you do.

Open Source & AGPL-3.0

Trust is a vulnerability. Verify instead.

Static is open source from the ground up — client, server, and protocol. Run a supernode on your own hardware, or let us run one for you. Either way, every line of code is auditable and no terms of service can change what you can verify yourself.

Don't want to manage a server? Hosted supernodes start at $5/month. Privacy features are always free — you pay for convenience, not for encryption.

$ curl -sSf https://static.chat/install.sh | sh
$ static-supernode init --community "My Server"
$ static-supernode start
✓ Supernode running on port 4433
✓ Invite link: static.chat/join/abc123

Static is being built in the open.

We're in active development and not pretending otherwise. The protocol works. Encrypted messaging delivers. Voice is coming. We are shipping in public, and every commit is on GitHub. Leave your email to get notified when the first public build is ready — or clone the repo and build it today.

When you're ready, create your own community: self-host for free or get a hosted supernode from $5/month. Privacy features are included at every tier — you never pay for encryption.
