Your own place to talk.
Nobody else's.
Rift is chat, voice and screen sharing for a group of people who would rather not hand their conversations to somebody else. You run the server. The messages are encrypted before they leave your device.
What it does
The things a small group actually uses, without the parts that exist to sell advertising.
Encrypted before it leaves
Messages, attachments and voice notes are sealed on your device and signed. The server stores ciphertext and never holds a key that opens it.
Your server, your rules
Point Rift at infrastructure you control. Set your own retention, attachment limits and history caps — or turn them all off.
Voice and screen sharing
Join a voice channel, share a window or a whole screen, and pick your own resolution, frame rate and bitrate.
Channels and DMs
Text channels, direct messages inside a server, and a light central tier for finding people you don't share a server with yet.
Attachments that stay yours
Images, files and voice notes get their own key, carried inside the encrypted message. The storage bucket holds opaque bytes.
Everywhere you are
Linux, Windows, Android and the browser, from one identity you can move between devices with an encrypted backup.
Made for small groups
Servers are yours to run and invites are a single link — send it, and the app opens on the other side.
