Channels and DMs
Public and private channels, mentions, reactions, and scheduled send. People open Dagr and already know where to type.
Team chat you host yourself.
Privacy-centric, self-hostable team chat. A Slack alternative you run yourself.
UI is changing during early development, and might not be acurate.
Kilobyte · #general
Apache 2.0
One product. No enterprise upsell to stay complete.
One Compose file
API, Postgres, Redis, and MinIO on infrastructure you control.
No required SaaS
Email and object storage are optional to configure.
Desktop and web
Sign in from the app, a browser, or several servers at once.
Slack-like, on your server
Channels, DMs, docs, and a desktop app your team already understands. Postgres, Redis, and files stay on infrastructure you control.
Workspace docs
A markdown wiki beside chat. Mention pages with [[slug]] so the conversation and the write-up stay together.
Notifications
In-app inbox and OS alerts. Silence a channel or keep mentions loud, per account.
Incoming webhooks
Post into a channel from the tools you already run. Native JSON or Slack-compatible payloads.
Cloud or self host
Run the stack yourself with no seat tax, or use Dagr Cloud when you would rather not operate a server.
Multi-account desktop
macOS and Windows app, plus the same UI in a browser. Stay signed in to Cloud and a server you host.
Slack you run yourself
Keep the model your team already knows. Drop the vendor. Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, Zulip, and Element are compared in the docs.
