Downloads How it Works Features Threat Model Mission FAQ Developer setup Quiet is an alternative to team chat apps like Slack, Discord, and Element that does not require trusting a central server or running one's own. In Quiet, all data syncs directly between a team's devices over Tor with no server required. NOTE: Quiet is not audited and should not be used when privacy and security are critical. It lacks basic features and probably won't replace your Slack or Discord yet. That said, it works surprisingly well and we use it daily as a Slack replacement. Quiet is for fans of software freedom, decentralization and privacy tech, and for anyone craving a future where humanity can collaborate effectively online without trusting our communities, networks, and data to giant corporations. Quiet is written (mostly) in TypeScript, with Electron and React Native frontends, and welcomes outside contributions! See: Contributing to Quiet 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 required. Each group of people (Quiet calls them \"communities\") gets their own insular network, so that data from one community never touches the devices of Quiet users in other communities. Not even in encrypted form! Message syncing is taken care of by a project called OrbitDB, which works like a mashup of Git, a gossip protocol, and BitTorre","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/TryQuiet","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/TryQuiet/quiet/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
