Self-hosted · Your server · Your rules

Your crew talks.
Nobody else listens.

Nightwire is the private messenger you run on your own server. Channels, DMs, voice messages and files for your team or your clan, and none of it ever touches someone else's cloud.

Nightwire on desktop and phone
1 command installNo domain needed0 data on our serversSealed push notifications
Built for crews

Everything your team needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

The chat you already know how to use, minus the third party in the middle.

Your server, your data

One command installs it on any Linux box. Messages, files and accounts live there and nowhere else.

Locked down

HTTPS even on a bare IP, two-factor sign-in, encrypted push and per-device keys. The relay only ever sees sealed data.

Voice, files, reactions

Voice messages with waveforms, photos, files, replies, pins, forwards and reactions. Fast on any connection.

Disappearing messages

Set a chat to forget after an hour, a day, a week or a month. Files go with them.

Real moderation

Admins, operators and channel moderators. Reports, timeouts, invites and a moderation panel inside the app.

Instant everywhere

Native apps for Windows and Android plus a web app for everyone else. Notifications land in under a second.

Self-host

Up and running
in five minutes.
