Own your conversations.
Speakeasy is built on the foundation that you should own your private communications on your own hardware on your own terms without relying on a central authority such as Discord or Signal. Source available for full auditing and customization.
Screen sharing
Watch screen shares without joining rooms. Rearrange and resize shared windows freely while multiple streams live together.
Encrypted chat
Text chat, voice channels, and group messages with built in voice calls -- all still end to end encrypted.
Tinker-friendly
Run it yourself, audit the source, tune the server, and customize the setup for the way your community actually hangs out.
Built for people who want the keys.
Speakeasy.im is for people who want to own the box, the network path, and the rules. The barrier to entry stays low: run a Speakeasy server from a regular Windows PC with a GUI-driven setup, including tutorials and support for common residential ISPs.
Current self-host package paths in this repo include a Debian package, a tar/install.sh bundle, an offline Docker bundle with local image tar, and a local strict Snap package. The Windows path is built around running a server from a regular PC without living in a terminal.
Source code, install files, and installation tutorials are available on Patreon. Click here for the docs page for more information.
Support the project and get the self-host pieces.
Patreon access is for people who want to run early server builds, read the source, influence what gets built next, and talk directly with the creator while Speakeasy.im is still moving fast.

What is Speakeasy.im?
A self-hostable communication app for voice/video rooms, screen sharing, encrypted text chats, private DMs, private groups, and public forums.
How do I connect my client to a server?
Install the desktop client, add the server address from your host or community admin, then sign in. The full walkthrough belongs in docs.
Can I host it myself?
Yes. The goal is self-hosting on your own Windows PC or Linux server, including setups that live behind a normal residential ISP connection.
What server packages exist?
The current self-host package work in this repo covers a Debian package, a tar/install.sh bundle, an offline Docker bundle with local image tar, and a local strict Snap package. The Windows path is installer-driven setup for running a server from a regular PC.
What is end to end encrypted?
Private chats, private groups, DMs, voice/video room media, attachments, history transfer, and device delivery use MLS based end to end encryption. Public forums are for public long form discussion.
Where are docs?
The placeholder is live at /docs/. It will cover connecting your client, self-host setup, admin panel, encryption model, and troubleshooting.
