Fast, private chat that puts you in control.
Tuwunel powers your own private chat space where you can message, call, and collaborate with your team or community. It runs on the Matrix protocol — the same open standard used by governments and enterprises worldwide — so your conversations are always encrypted and your data stays yours.
What makes Tuwunel worth launching.
Every private message, call, and file is encrypted so only the people in the conversation can read it.
Bridge your chat to Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more — all from one place.
Start one-on-one or group calls with crystal-clear audio and video, right inside your chat.
Group your conversations into spaces and sub-spaces — perfect for teams, departments, or communities.
Keep discussions tidy with message threads, so busy rooms stay easy to follow.
Share images, documents, and files of any size directly in your conversations.
If you fit one of these, Tuwunel is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Tuwunel makes a real difference.
Replace scattered conversations across Slack, Discord, and email with one private chat hub where everyone can connect.
Run a secure messaging space for your organization where end-to-end encryption protects every message by default.
Create a home for your hobby group, club, or open-source project with organized rooms, voice chat, and shared files.
Use bridges to chat with people on other messaging apps without leaving Tuwunel — no more app-switching.
Tuwunel is a fast and secure chat server that gives you a private place to message, call, and share files with your team, friends, or community. Built on the Matrix open standard, it works seamlessly with popular chat apps like Element so you can send messages, start voice and video calls, organize conversations into spaces and threads, and even connect to people on other platforms like Discord, Slack, and Telegram through bridges. With end-to-end encryption built right in, everything you share stays private. Tuwunel is trusted by organizations including the government of Switzerland, and it's designed to be lightweight and efficient so anyone can run their own private chat space.
Tuwunel gives you a private, high-performance chat server that you and your team can rely on. Unlike big-platform messaging apps, you get full end-to-end encryption, unlimited voice and video calls, and the ability to connect with people on other chat platforms through bridges — all under one roof. It's built on the Matrix standard used by governments worldwide, and its lightweight design means it runs fast without eating up resources. Whether you're running a small team, a community, or an entire organization, Tuwunel gives you secure, modern messaging that works the way you do.
