Find your community.

Reckfell is the group chat app for friends and communities that works the way you always wished it would.

The better chat app.

Everything you need…

All the features you've come to expect in the 21st century are here. Servers, channels, voice chat, file sharing, markdown support, and all the rest.

…and nothing you don't.

A deployment can run entirely on infrastructure controlled by its operator, including object storage, media processing, calls, support and documentation.

Handles tens, handles thousands.

Whether you're chatting with a handful of friends or running a bustling community, Reckfell scales with you. The tools work the same, no matter how big you get.

The rules are simple.

Manage your community with an intuitive role-based permissions system, powerful moderation tools, and the best moderation bots in class.

Not sketchy, not creepy.

Privacy, retention, encryption, moderation and storage settings stay under the control of the deployment operator.

Take it with you. Everywhere.

Your account, your conversations, your settings. All in sync across every device you own. We've got you covered on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web.

Answers to you, not investors.

The platform is designed around users and communities, without requiring advertising or behavioural profiling services.

You're in control. Really in control.

You don't have to worry about hosting your own server if you don't want to, but if you do, we've got you covered. It's free, it's open, and it's yours to do with as you please.

Still not convinced?

Don't pay for basic stuff.

Uploads can be compressed, converted, encrypted, scanned and prepared by background workers. Limits and formats are controlled by the operator.

Upload → convert → optimise → store

Theming won't get you banned.

Reckfell has some cool-looking themes right out of the box, and if you don't like them, get more from the Discover section or make your own. You can even use CSS if you're feeling adventurous.

Group DMs that scale.

Group DMs on Reckfell support up to 50 members, making them perfect for everything from ad-hoc voice groups to project collaboration. Bots work in them too, because why wouldn't they?

Developers love it.

Our public API is so powerful that we use it ourselves for the official apps. If you're a developer, you'll feel right at home building with Reckfell, whether it's a simple bot or a custom client.

We actually listen.

We have an open issue tracker. If you have a problem with the software, want to request a feature, or just want to say hi, we're all ears: just join our community server and let us know what you think.
