Use Voxpery in browser ยท About Voxpery

Light on your computer

An 8.2 MB Windows installer and about 420 MB of memory while idle, against 146 MB and about 1.2 GB for Discord on the same PC.

One account everywhere

Use it in the browser or in apps for Windows, macOS and Linux (.deb, .rpm, Flatpak), and install it as a web app on your phone.

Free, without ads or tracking

No paid tier, no ads and no analytics cookies. Images from other websites load through Voxpery, so those sites do not see your IP address.

Chat and calls together

Text channels, direct messages, voice, camera and screen sharing in one app.

Open to inspection

All of the code is public under AGPL-3.0, so anyone can check what the app does with your data.

Your data, your choice

Use voxpery.com or run the same stack on your own server with Docker. Export your data or delete your account at any time.
