About this app

Spokes is a self-hosted communication platform built for teams, friends and families who are looking for privacy and data sovereignty. Say goodbye to third-party data mining, monthly per-user subscription fees, and AIs training on your data. With Spokes, you host the server and you own your data.

Designed to be a powerful alternative to mainstream chat apps, Spokes provides a fast, fluid, and native-feeling mobile experience that connects directly to your private infrastructure.

🌟 Key Features:

💬 Real-Time Text & Media Chat : Communicate instantly with your team or family. Organize conversations into dedicated public channels, create private group chats, or send direct messages. Share photos, videos, files, and voice memos seamlessly.

🎙️ Live Voice Channels : Jump into live audio rooms for quick team stand-ups, gaming sessions, or catching up with family. Powered by industry standard LiveKit for crystal-clear, low-latency audio.

🔒 Absolute Data Ownership : We cannot read your messages, we cannot sell your data, and we cannot track your users. The Spokes mobile app acts exclusively as a client that connects directly to the server you control.

🛡️ Private Encrypted Channels & Notifications : Take your privacy a step further with secure, encrypted channels. These channels are locked down to protect your sensitive conversations against server owner snooping. Additionally, Spokes utilizes encrypted push notifications, ensuring that your message contents remain completely unreadable while in transit through notification relays.

🔔 Reliable Push Notifications : Never miss an important message. Spokes securely routes push notifications to your device so you stay connected even when the app is running in the background.

How it works : The Spokes app requires an active Spokes Server to function. Ask your server administrator for your login credentials, or visit our website to learn how to deploy your own private server in minutes.
