Everything you're used to from Slack
Plus a few things they don't have
Access only with the key
Private chats are end-to-end encrypted. Without the encryption key, no one can read your messages — not even us. The key stays on your devices.
- AES-256 encryption
- Zero-knowledge architecture
- Key sync between your devices
- EU servers, no US jurisdiction
Access policy at server level
Restrict who can join your server. Only people with a @company.com email? Only Premium members? You have full control, without managing invite codes.
- Domain restriction (@company.com)
- Premium-only servers
- No invite code hassle
- Perfect for businesses
User Groups
Server-wide permissionsUser Groups at server level
No more hassle with per-channel permissions. Create groups, assign rights, and manage everything centrally. Add someone to "Developers" and they automatically get access to all relevant channels.
- Server-wide permissions
- Automatic channel access
- Easier than Discord roles
Owners
Shared ownership
Add multiple owners to your server. The primary owner cannot be removed, but other owners have the same rights. Perfect for partners or co-founders.
- Multiple owners possible
- Primary owner protected
- Not possible in Discord/Slack
Custom triggers with webhooks
Type /command in any channel and automatically trigger a webhook. No bot needed, no code — just set it up visually and it's available server-wide.
- Server-wide availability
- No bot or code needed
- Visual webhook configuration
- Not possible in Discord/Slack
Enable DM Requests
Allow others to send you DM requests for the next 5 minutes.
DM Requests off by default
No unwanted DMs or spam. By default, others cannot message you. Enable DM requests temporarily (5 minutes) when you want.
- Privacy on by default
- Temporary activation possible
- No spam or unwanted DMs
- Not possible in Discord/Slack
Community Moderation
On Community Servers, we don't decide what is and isn't allowed — the community does. Volunteer moderators vote independently on reports. Business servers manage their own moderation.
- Democratic decisions
- No corporate censorship
- Transparent process
- Only on Community Servers
