## What is Interkom?

Interkom is a private, end-to-end encrypted Slack alternative — team chat, channels, stories, and voice notes for your company. Native iOS, macOS, and web.

YOUR TEAM, WITHOUT THE NOISE
- Channels keep conversations in the right rooms
- Direct messages and group chats with real-time presence and typing indicators
- Voice notes when typing isn't faster

24-HOUR STORIES
Share moments that matter and disappear — a shipped feature, a view from the office, a quick update. Workspace-only, never public.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Every message is end-to-end encrypted on your device before it leaves. Signal-grade. Default-on. We can't read your messages even if asked.
Keys are generated locally, rotated continuously. New device? You verify it. Lose one? Revoke it.

ENCRYPTED CALLS
Audio and video calls, end-to-end encrypted like everything else. Screen share on iOS and Mac. Company-channel calls are admin-only — no accidental all-hands.

YOUR WORKSPACE, YOUR URL
Each team gets its own home at yourcompany.interkom.app — invite-only, private, scoped to your people.

PER-WORKSPACE PROFILES
Different name, photo, and handle at each workspace. Your startup self and your side-project self don't need to meet.

BUILT NATIVE, NOT ELECTRON
SwiftUI from day one. 60fps lists, real haptics, real Mac menus, every keyboard shortcut you reach for. Cold-starts in under a second.

FREE PLAN THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Up to 5 teammates, full message history with no 90-day wall, channels, stories, and DMs. No credit card, no expiry.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Interkom requires iOS 18 or later and a free account at interkom.app.
