Create and manage vibrant online communities with a secure, open-source chat app. Offers deep customization, powerful moderation, and respects your privacy.
Open-source, self-hostable chat that brings Discord-style servers, channels, and voice to communities, built by a small European team that puts privacy first.
Revolt is a user-first open-source chat platform that delivers Discord-style communities with servers, channels, voice, rich embeds, and deep customisation, built by a small European team and fully self-hostable. It gives communities, gaming groups, and internal teams a modern chat experience without trading privacy for features.
The platform combines familiar community features such as roles, permissions, bots, and per-server branding with a transparent codebase licensed under AGPL. Anyone can run their own instance, contribute to the protocol, or extend functionality through a documented API, keeping the ecosystem open and vendor-neutral.
Key benefits:
- Self-hostable server lets communities run Revolt on their own infrastructure
- Granular roles and permissions model complex community structures cleanly
- Rich customisation covers themes, per-server branding, and bot integrations
- Open-source codebase under AGPL provides full transparency and portability
- Lightweight clients run smoothly in the browser and as native desktop and mobile apps
- Documented API lets developers build bots, bridges, and integrations freely
Developed in the United Kingdom with managed hosting in Europe, Revolt operates under GDPR and collects minimal user data by policy, aligning with European privacy expectations far more closely than large US competitors. Self-hosted deployments give full jurisdictional control over conversations and metadata.
Revolt is ideal for online communities, open-source projects, and privacy-conscious teams that want a modern Discord-style chat platform they can inspect, host, and shape themselves.
