About this app

Colibri is a chat app, similar to Discord, built on the AT Protocol (also called ATproto). It was originally built by Louis Escher and Reuben Tier as a side project to figure out whether real-time chat applications on ATproto were possible. Because Colibri is built on ATproto, there’s no such thing as “a Colibri account.” You sign in with your existing Atmosphere identity, and your messages, images, and identity stay in your own PDS (Personal Data Server). You own them, and they travel with you across the network instead of being locked inside our servers. Communities work the same way: each one is its own repository on the network, so a community’s data isn’t trapped in any single app either.
