Private chat that's yours to call home.
Conduit gives you your own private chat server where you and your people can message each other securely. It's built on Matrix, the open network that lets you chat with anyone, anywhere — just like email, but for instant messaging.
What makes Conduit worth launching.
Every message is encrypted by default, so only the people in the conversation can read what's shared.
Message anyone on any Matrix server — your group isn't stuck in a walled garden.
Create rooms for different topics and organize them into spaces so everyone stays on the same page.
Make one-on-one or group calls right from your chat app, with no extra software needed.
Send photos, documents, and files of all kinds — everything is stored and accessible when you need it.
Use Element, FluffyChat, SchildiChat, or any Matrix-compatible app to access your messages.
If you fit one of these, Conduit is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Conduit makes a real difference.
Set up a private messaging hub where everyone in the family can chat, share photos, and make calls — no ads, no data mining.
Create rooms for announcements, planning, and casual chatter so your volunteer group, hobby club, or neighborhood stays in touch.
Replace scattered text messages and emails with organized group conversations, file sharing, and voice calls — all in one place.
Since Conduit connects to the wider Matrix network, you can message friends on other servers while keeping your own conversations private.
Conduit is a simple, fast, and reliable chat server that puts you in control of your conversations. Built on the Matrix open network, it lets you create your own private messaging hub where messages are end-to-end encrypted by default. You can chat one-on-one, create group rooms, send files and images, and even make voice and video calls. Since it's part of the Matrix network, you can message anyone on any other Matrix server too — not just people on yours. It's designed to be lightweight and responsive, so your chats feel snappy whether you're messaging one person or a hundred. Best of all, you use it with your favorite chat app like Element or FluffyChat, so the experience feels just like any modern messenger.
Conduit is a chat server built for people who want their conversations to stay private and under their control. Unlike big messaging platforms funded by advertising, Conduit keeps your data where it belongs — with you. Your messages are end-to-end encrypted, and because Conduit is part of the open Matrix network, you're not stuck in a closed ecosystem. You can message anyone on any other Matrix server, use any Matrix chat app you like, and customize your experience. It's lightweight and fast, so whether you're a family of four or a community of fifty, your chats stay snappy and responsive.
