What makes Plauder.Party different
No proprietary lock-in. We build on proven open-source components and are upfront about what works today — and what is still on the roadmap.
Matrix protocol
Open standard for decentralized chat
Encrypted messages and rooms
Direct messages and rooms can use end-to-end encryption. You keep control of your keys — not us.
LiveKit
WebRTC for voice and video
Voice & video without a separate app
Voice and video rooms in the browser or desktop client. LiveKit keeps latency low — we host in the EU.
Cinny
Modern Matrix web client
A familiar chat experience in the browser
Cinny covers channels, DMs, and room management in a clean UI. Desktop app available — same Matrix identity everywhere.
Hosted in Germany
Our infrastructure runs in the EU. Where possible, data stays in Europe — without relying on US cloud providers for core operations.
