Echo
Voice & text for communities — crisp, fast, and built for real servers. Hosted at xetal.net. Jump in, break things, and help us ship something unforgettable.
Grab a build
Pick your format — AppImage for one-click runs on most distros, or a tar.gz if you prefer extracting and running the binary yourself. Windows users get the portable .exe.
SHA / checksums may ship with stable releases — verify downloads when published. Update the file names above on the server when you bump versions.

Privacy-first direction
Echo is being developed with privacy-respecting defaults: your data should stay yours. This alpha hardens the stack and documents what leaves your machine versus what the server stores. A full privacy policy will land as features mature.
Owners in control
Retention you define — temporary or permanent policies per channel, expirations, and archival. Alpha may not expose every knob yet; your feedback sets priority.
Linux + Windows
Native AppImage and tar.gz for Linux, portable .exe for Windows. Proton still works if you prefer Steam — but these builds are the real deal.
Roadmap
- Now: guilds, channels, DMs, voice, themes, stickers groundwork, iterative server features.
- Next: stability from bug reports, richer channel policies, polish, platform expansion.
