Navigate and multitask with ease — Switch between communities, check who’s online, and filter notifications by friends, mentions, and more.
Designed for real communities—Structure your space with channels, roles, and permissions that reflect how your group works.

Root for mobile gives you the essentials and keeps you connected today, with more on the way.

Ratings and reviews

It's starting somewhere, somewhat bare minimum but considering this is new, it's got the minimum things we need. I've been using this app for group calls and chats and it's doing good so far. Can't wait for future updates.

I like that the mobile version is very complete so far, but it runs terribly bad. It lags in every touch I do, like changing between communities, selecting a channel, scrolling to search for an image... I guess this is still new, so it will be fixed soon.

Great app! And a Discord alternative! I moved here a week ago (Dec 11) And things have gone smoothly! Sure, some features as re missing but the overall app experience is great! Definitely recommend. It's a very underrated app.
