Rift: Encrypted Chat & Voice

Rift is a place for your friends, your club or your team to talk: text and voice channels, video calls and screen sharing, with every message encrypted on your device before it leaves.

Join a friend's server with one invite link, find a community in the public directory, or run a server of your own on a machine you control.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Messages, files, voice messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. The server stores only what it can't read, not even for the person who runs it.
• Calls in direct messages use a key only the two of you can work out.
• Link previews are made by the sender, so the server never fetches your links.
• Images are checked on your own device, and sensitive ones are blurred for you.
• No ads, no trackers, no analytics.

EVERYTHING YOUR GROUP USES
• Text and voice channels, private channels and roles
• Voice and video calls, and watching screen shares
• Direct messages inside a server, and with friends you don't share a server with yet
• Replies, forwards, reactions, mentions, pins and polls
• Voice messages and a soundboard

YOUR SERVER, YOUR RULES
Whoever runs a server decides how long messages are kept, how big an attachment can be, how many people fit in a call, and how much storage it gets. Moderators have reports, time-outs, kicks and bans. Everyone gets a say in who can message them, and a block that works.

AN ACCOUNT IS OPTIONAL
Rift works without one. Make a free account to back up your identity encrypted, add friends, and pick up where you left off on your other devices: Windows, Linux and the web.

OPEN SOURCE
The app, the server and the bot SDKs are open source, so anyone can check how the encryption works.
