Features & Capabilities

Messenger for the Decentralized Web

Databag is a selfhosted messaging service. Notable features include:

  • Decentralized (direct communication between app and server node)
  • Federated (accounts on different nodes can communicate)
  • Public-Private key based identity (not bound to any blockchain or hosting domain)
  • End-to-End encryption (the hosting admin cannot view sealed topics, default unsealed)
  • Audio and Video Calls (nat traversal requires separate relay server)
  • Topic based threads (messages organized by topic not contacts)
  • Lightweight (server can run on a raspberry pi zero v1.3)
  • Low latency (use of websockets for push events to avoid polling)
  • Unlimited accounts per node (host for your whole family)
  • Mobile alerts for new contacts, messages, and calls (supports APN)

Had to learn to self host, but so worth it. I can communicate with privacy, and don’t need to wonder about who or what has access to the photos I share with family.
