Description
Spokes is a self-hosted communication platform offering text, voice, and video chat for families, friend groups, and small teams. It provides a simple, private alternative to cloud-based services like Discord and Slack, giving you 100% control over your data on your own hardware.
Everything runs inside a single lightweight Docker container with no external database required:
• Organized text channels, private DMs, and native GIF support
• Built-in LiveKit voice & video channels with noise cancellation
• Shared photo albums for preserving high-resolution family & group pictures
• Group event calendar and availability tracking
• Free native iOS and Android apps with end-to-end encrypted push notifications
• Optional password-encrypted channels and full OIDC / SSO support
Spokes Server is free to self-host forever with unlimited users. An optional per-server Spokes Pass ($45/year for your entire server, no per-user fees) unlocks the mobile push notification relay after a 2-month free trial.
