A small, self-hosted communications stack built on Matrix, LiveKit group calls and the SchildiChat client. No accounts sold, no ads, no tracking — just your circle.

🔒

End-to-end encrypted

Messages and calls are encrypted on your device. Keys never leave it. Built on the open Matrix protocol.

A friendlier, customizable Element fork — unified inbox, message bubbles, and sensible defaults.

🏠

Your server, your rules

Runs on a single tidy VPS. You own the data, the logs, and the off switch.

🌉

Bridges optional

Connect the rooms you already use, or keep it fully isolated. Your call.

Light & fast

HTTP/2, modern TLS, tuned networking. Feels instant even on a modest box.
