CORAX.chat — your communities, minus the face scan

Discord wants your ID. Your friends don't.

CORAX.chat is the easy messenger for your servers and group chats — same look, same communities, no face scan, no ID upload. And the basics are free.

What you're up against right now

The apps where your friends hang out keep moving the goalposts.

  • Scan your face to log in

    More and more apps demand an ID card or a face scan just to keep your account.

  • Locked out by default

    Get flagged as a minor and whole servers and channels suddenly go dark.

  • No obvious safe alternative

    Everyone says "just switch" — but to what? Nothing feels familiar or trustworthy.

  • You won't move alone

    Changing apps is pointless if your friends and communities aren't there too.

It looks like what you know

Servers, channels, voice, DMs — laid out the way you already expect.

If you can use Discord, you can use CORAX.chat on day one — no relearning, no manual.

Sign up in one tap

A username and a passphrase. No phone number, no ID, no face scan — ever.

From an invite link to chatting in your server takes under a minute.

Image or video coming

Your communities come with you

When an admin moves a server over, it arrives ready — friends and channels included.

Built on Matrix: a whole community can migrate together, so you're never the only one who switched.

Image or video coming

Free, and actually usable

Messaging, voice and video work out of the box — no paywall on the basics.

The free tier covers a community, dozens of members and real storage. Pay only if you grow.

What CORAX.chat inverts

Decentralized, encrypted, portable. And no black box, ever.

  • End-to-end encrypted

    Encryption by default. Nobody can read your messages.

    Concretely

    Olm and Megolm protocols — the same battle-tested cryptography behind Element. Keys never leave your device.

  • Decentralized

    Built on Matrix. Federated, no single point of failure, self-hostable.

    Concretely

    Hundreds of independent servers already federate over Matrix. If one goes down, the network keeps running — and you can self-host yours.

  • Open source

    Open code, documented process. No black box.

    Concretely

    AGPLv3-licensed code, public roadmap, transparent governance backed by a French non-profit. Anyone can audit, fork or contribute.

  • Co-designed accessibility

    Designed from scratch with the people concerned, not for them.

    Concretely

    Screen-reader pass on every release, dyslexic-font option, high-contrast theme, and a keyboard-first interface.
