Chat and voice for your people,
on your own server.

Spaces, channels, realtime text, low-latency voice, and video for a friend group or a community. Open source. Small-hardware friendly.

Yours

Runs on hardware you control. Your community's history lives on a machine one of you owns, not on a platform's servers under a platform's rules.

Small

A single binary, Postgres and LiveKit. Three containers and one compose file. Upgrades in place from the release before, and rolls back one.

Light

Runs on small hardware. A tiny, mini or micro PC is plenty, and so is an old laptop or the smallest VPS. The server is one static binary with the web app inside it.

Stoop's web app: a space called The Stoop with text and voice channels down the left, a channel of messages from neighbours with replies and reactions, and the member list.

The web app, in the default Brownstone theme. Twenty-six others are named after the block.
