Daccord vs Haven

Daccord is the free, open-source alternative to Discord — chat, voice, and video with native apps you control. Connect to your own server, not someone else's cloud. No ads. No tracking. No corporate lock-in. Your server, your data, your rules. FEATURES • Real-time messaging — send, edit, delete, and reply across channels and direct messages, with updates that feel alive. • Multi-server — connect to many Daccord servers at once and switch between them seamlessly. Your work crew and your gaming crew, side by side. • Voice, video & screen sharing — crystal-clear calls powered by LiveKit/WebRTC, with camera and screen share built right in. • Emoji — full unicode support plus custom server emoji, all behind a slick built-in picker. • Native on every platform — lightweight, fast, and built with Flutter, with a responsive UI that adapts from phone to desktop. SELF-HOSTED BY DESIGN Don't just join a server — run your own and keep full control of your data, accounts, and voice traffic. Nothing passes through us. Daccord is GPLv3-licensed and community-driven, with nothing locked behind a paywall. Note: Daccord is in early development. Things move fast and you may hit rough edges — we'd love your help filing them down.

Haven is private chat for communities that run their own server. Your messages live on a box you control, not on someone else's cloud, and direct messages are end-to-end encrypted so even the server can't read them. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED • Direct messages and group DMs are encrypted on your device (ECDH P-256, HKDF-SHA256, AES-256-GCM) • Pictures and files in encrypted conversations are encrypted too • Group messages are signed, so you can tell who really sent them • Optional encrypted key backup restores your keys with your password CHAT THE WAY YOUR GROUP DOES • Text channels, private channels, DMs and group DMs • Threads, replies, quotes, reactions, custom emoji and stickers • Forums with topics and tags, polls, pinned messages and search • Pictures, video, files and GIFs • Markdown, tables, spoilers and code blocks • Official messages that make staff announcements stand out VOICE AND VIDEO • Drop-in voice channels • Video and screen sharing • Push notifications for mentions and DMs YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES • Delete your own messages, all of them or only those older than a day, a week, a month or a year • Auto-delete your messages after a set time • Export your data as one file • Block people, and see and sign out every device on your account MAKE IT YOURS Dozens of themes, icon packs, adjustable text size and accessibility settings.
