Description: Quiet is an alternative to team chat apps like Slack, Discord, and Element that does not require trusting a central server or running your own. In Quiet, all data syncs directly between a team's devices over Tor, with no server needed. Quiet is for fans of software freedom, decentralization, and privacy technology, as well as for anyone craving a future where people can collaborate effectively online without entrusting their communities, networks, and data to giant corporations. How it works While apps like Slack, Discord, and Signal use central servers, Quiet syncs messages directly between a team's devices over Tor, with no server involved. Each group of people (called "communities" in Quiet) has its own isolated network, so data from one community never touches the devices of Quiet users in other communities—not even in encrypted form. Message syncing is handled by a project called OrbitDB, which functions like a mashup of Git, a gossip protocol, and BitTorrent. It broadcasts new messages, syncs the latest messages, and transfers files. Syncing ensures users typically receive all messages sent while they were offline. Community owners—those who create the community—grant invites, access, and usernames. The owner provides an "invitation code" that invitees use to connect to the owner's device, register a username, and obtain a standard cryptographic certificate to prove they are part of the community to other peers. See our FAQ for answers to common questions and a comparison of Quiet with similar apps: FAQ: https://github.com/TryQuiet/monorepo/wiki/Quiet-FAQ Features - Team Chat – Create a "community" for your team or organization and invite members. - End-to-end Encryption – All data is encrypted end-to-end between member devices. - Channels – Organize chats in Slack-like channels. - Images – Send and receive images with copy/paste, drag & drop, and image previews. - Files – Send and receive large files without arbitrary limits. - Notifications – Receive desktop notifications for new messages, with optional sounds. - Invite Links – Share invite links, just like WhatsApp, Signal, or Discord. - Keyboard Controls – Navigate channels without using the mouse. - Desktop Apps – Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. - Android App – Fully peer-to-peer with working notifications. - iOS App – Fully peer-to-peer (TestFlight) without notifications. - No Email or Phone Number Required – Unlike Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, no email or phone number is required to create or join a community. ⚠️ Note Quiet is not audited and should not be used when privacy and security are critical. It lacks some basic features and likely won’t replace your Slack or Discord yet. That said, it works surprisingly well, and we use it daily as a Slack replacement.
