Building a messaging platform that respects privacy without compromising on features.
NexChat was born from the belief that private, secure communication should be accessible to everyone — not just those who can afford premium services. In a world where messaging apps increasingly monetize user data, we wanted to build something different.
Our platform combines real-time messaging, end-to-end encryption infrastructure, group collaboration, and media sharing — all while keeping your data under your control. We are fully open-source, meaning anyone can audit our code, contribute to the project, or self-host their own instance.
Whether you're a privacy-conscious individual, a small team looking for secure internal communication, or a developer wanting to learn from a full-stack TypeScript project — NexChat is built for you.
We design every feature with privacy in mind. E2EE infrastructure, minimal data collection, and full transparency about what we store.
Our entire codebase is open for inspection, contribution, and fork. No black boxes, no hidden telemetry, no proprietary tracking.
Security should never come at the cost of usability. We strive for a clean, fast, and intuitive interface that anyone can use.
Built with React 19, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Socket.IO — delivering real-time performance at scale.
We continuously improve with new features, security patches, and performance optimizations. Our changelog reflects our commitment to growth.
We welcome contributions, feedback, and ideas from the community. NexChat is built by the community, for the community.
NexChat is fully open-source under the ISC license. The complete source code is available for review, contribution, and self-hosting. We believe transparency is the foundation of trust.
You can find the project repository, submit issues, and contribute on GitHub.
