Haven - Self-Hosted Chat

Haven is private chat for communities that run their own server. Your messages live on a box you control, not on someone else's cloud, and direct messages are end-to-end encrypted so even the server can't read them.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
• Direct messages and group DMs are encrypted on your device (ECDH P-256, HKDF-SHA256, AES-256-GCM)
• Pictures and files in encrypted conversations are encrypted too
• Group messages are signed, so you can tell who really sent them
• Optional encrypted key backup restores your keys with your password

CHAT THE WAY YOUR GROUP DOES
• Text channels, private channels, DMs and group DMs
• Threads, replies, quotes, reactions, custom emoji and stickers
• Forums with topics and tags, polls, pinned messages and search
• Pictures, video, files and GIFs
• Markdown, tables, spoilers and code blocks
• Official messages that make staff announcements stand out

VOICE AND VIDEO
• Drop-in voice channels
• Video and screen sharing
• Push notifications for mentions and DMs

YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES
• Delete your own messages, all of them or only those older than a day, a week, a month or a year
• Auto-delete your messages after a set time
• Export your data as one file
• Block people, and see and sign out every device on your account

MAKE IT YOURS
Dozens of themes, icon packs, adjustable text size and accessibility settings.

SELF-HOSTED AND OPEN
Haven connects to Haven servers. Run your own on a home PC or a small server, or join a community that already has one. Save several servers and switch between them in a tap.

TRY IT FIRST
