Databag

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)
