Talk without ceremony
Rooms, direct messages, replies, reactions, and shared files live in one familiar workspace.

Independent community messenger
A familiar place to talk, without the lock-in.
Mesh is an end-to-end encrypted community messenger for friends and groups. Conversations, voice spaces, files, and community tools share one calm interface.

What the current build is for
Community chat should feel obvious before documentation is needed.
The product starts from the mental model people already know, then makes ownership and privacy the quieter foundation underneath it.
Drop into voice
Voice spaces sit beside the conversation, so people can join when they are ready instead of scheduling a call.
Run a real community
Roles, permissions, member tools, announcements, and room structure are part of the same system.
Find the thread again
Search, pins, and unread markers keep a busy community navigable.
Why Mesh exists
The familiar layout is the easy part.
The harder work is making a community feel like it belongs to the people in it, not to one service they cannot leave.
Private conversations
Messages and files are encrypted before they leave your device. Privacy is part of the architecture, not a premium setting.
No forced service
Choose a public account service, a community service, or your own. The account and the community do not have to live in the same place.
Familiar on purpose
Rooms, conversations, members, and voice controls stay where community-chat users already expect them.
For people who want the implementation details
Mesh uses open, Matrix-compatible infrastructure. Accounts and communities can live on different services and still communicate. Optional peer-assisted history is explicit and reversible. The project is licensed AGPL-3.0.
From invite to inside
Three understandable steps.
- 01
Open an invite
A community link starts the journey. There is no infrastructure form to complete first.
- 02
Choose where your account lives
Use a public service, one offered by the community, or your own. The choice remains explicit.
- 03
Enter the community
Rooms, people, and conversations are ready. The network details stay in the background.
Still in the workshop
Follow the work as it takes shape.
Mesh is not available for public download yet. The project page will stay honest about that while the current Windows builds are tested.
