Team communication
on your terms
OpenCorde is a self-hosted team communication platform you run yourself. Spaces, channels, voice, video, threads, forums, end-to-end encryption, and a Discord bridge — all on infrastructure you own.
Everything your team needs
End-to-End Encryption
MLS protocol (RFC 9420) for text channels, voice, video, and file transfers. Keys never leave your device.
Voice & Video
LiveKit-powered SFU with screen sharing, noise suppression, per-participant controls, and stage channels.
Discord Bridge
Bidirectional message bridging with Discord via ghost users. Migrate communities without losing history.
Forums & Events
Threaded forum channels with posts and replies. Scheduled events with RSVP and calendar integration.
Full-Text Search
Tantivy-powered search across all messages, channels, and attachments — instant, server-side.
Federation-Ready
Built around Ed25519 node identity and a peer registry. Cross-instance messaging is on the roadmap — the architecture is designed for it from day one.
Your Infrastructure
Self-host on any Linux server. PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, LiveKit — all standard open-source components.
