Find your community.

Cordice is the open-source group chat app for friends and communities that works the way you always wished it would.

The better chat app.

Everything you need…

All the features you've come to expect in the 21st century are here. Servers, channels, voice chat, file sharing, markdown support, and all the rest.

…and nothing you don't.

No ads, no data mining, no shady partnerships. We know you don't want that, your community doesn't want that, and we don't want that either.

Handles tens, handles thousands.

Whether you're chatting with a handful of friends or running a bustling community, Cordice scales with you. The tools work the same, no matter how big you get.

The rules are simple.

Manage your community with an intuitive role-based permissions system, powerful moderation tools, and support for moderation bots.

Not sketchy, not creepy.

Cordice is fully open source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable. The code is public, so you can see exactly what it does — or run your own instance and keep your data on your own hardware. No ads, no data mining.

Take it with you. Everywhere.

Your account, your conversations, your settings, in sync across your devices. Cordice has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web.

Answers to you, not investors.

No investors, no ads, no lock-in. Cordice is free and open source — it answers to the people who use it and build it, now and forever.

You're in control. Really in control.

You don't have to worry about hosting your own server if you don't want to, but if you do, we've got you covered. It's free, it's open, and it's yours to do with as you please.

Still not convinced?

Don't pay for basic stuff.

Custom emojis, a 20MB file upload limit and a server-specific profile picture with no subscription required. Animated avatars for everyone. We've even solved the age-old problem of letting you set a banner on your profile without making you pay for it. It's the little things.

Theming won't get you banned.

Cordice has some cool-looking themes right out of the box, and if you don't like them, get more from the Discover section or make your own. You can even use CSS if you're feeling adventurous.

Group DMs that scale.

Group DMs on Cordice support up to 50 members, making them perfect for everything from ad-hoc voice groups to project collaboration. Bots work in them too, because why wouldn't they?

Developers love it.

Cordice has a full public API — the same one its clients are built on. If you're a developer, you'll feel right at home, whether you're writing a simple bot or your own client.

We actually listen.

Cordice has an open issue tracker on GitHub. Found a bug, want to request a feature, or just want to say hi? Open an issue — we're all ears.
