Messaging
Messaging that keeps up.
Send a quick DM or keep a busy community organized with channels, replies, mentions, reactions, GIFs, and searchable history.
Your conversations,
on your terms.
Sideband brings messages, communities, voice channels, screen sharing, and video when you want it into one desktop app you can host yourself.

Voice channels
Drop in.
Hang out.
Join a channel while you play, work, or just catch up. Share your screen when showing is easier than explaining, and turn on video if the moment calls for it.
03
Your community.
Your server.
Use a Sideband server run by someone you trust, or host your own. You choose where your community lives and who has access.
Self-hosting
Your server, without the hassle.
Run Sideband for your friends or community without handing control to someone else. Choose a supported hosting provider for a guided deployment, or install it on your own infrastructure.
