Chatto Chat Application Becomes Open Source and Available for Self-Hosting
Key points
- Chatto is now open source and available for self-hosting.
- Supports voice and video calls with end-to-end encryption.
- Designed for resource efficiency and user privacy.
Chatto Becomes Open Source
Chatto is a group chat application that has now been officially released as open source. This move allows users to self-host their instances of the application, making it accessible to a wider audience without cost.
Installation and Features
Users can easily install Chatto using Homebrew with simple commands. The application is designed to be lightweight and efficient, featuring a clean interface. Key functionalities include text, voice, and video messaging, all secured with encryption.
Emphasis on User Privacy
Chatto prioritizes user privacy by ensuring that all personal and chat data is encrypted at rest. Each server operates independently, meaning no data is shared between different communities, and there is no tracking of user activity.
Future Hosting Options
In addition to self-hosting, the developer plans to launch Chatto Cloud, which will provide paid hosting options for users who prefer not to self-manage their servers. This service will focus solely on hosting, without advertisements or premium subscription tiers.
