ChitChatter

Overview

ChitChatter is a free (as in both price and freedom) communication tool designed to provide the simplest way to connect with others privately and securely. It is fully open source (GPL v2), peer-to-peer by default, end-to-end encrypted via WebRTC, and ephemeral — messages are never stored on disk. It works without a central API server, relying on public WebTorrent and TURN servers when needed, and can be self-hosted or embedded. Built with Vite, it leverages Trystero for secure networking and secure-file-transfer for encrypted file sharing.
