All the features you've come to expect in the 21st century are here. Servers, channels, voice chat, file sharing, markdown support, and all the rest.
No ads, no data mining, no shady partnerships. We know you don't want that, your community doesn't want that, and we don't want that either.
Whether you're chatting with a handful of friends or running a bustling community, Stoat scales with you. The tools work the same, no matter how big you get.
Manage your community with an intuitive role-based permissions system, powerful moderation tools, and the best moderation bots in class.
Built in Europe under some of the strictest data protection laws in the world. The code is public and the privacy policy is short enough to actually read. We don't sell your data and we never will.
Your account, your conversations, your settings. All in sync across every device you own. We've got you covered on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web.
We've got no board to please and no ad revenue to protect. Every decision we make starts and ends with the people using the software. Free and open source, now and forever.
You don't have to worry about hosting your own server if you don't want to, but if you do, we've got you covered. It's free, it's open, and it's yours to do with as you please.
Custom emojis, a 20MB file upload limit and a server-specific profile picture with no subscription required. Animated avatars for everyone. We've even solved the age-old problem of letting you set a banner on your profile without making you pay for it. It's the little things.
Stoat has some cool-looking themes right out of the box, and if you don't like them, get more from the Discover section or make your own. You can even use CSS if you're feeling adventurous.
Group DMs on Stoat support up to 50 members, making them perfect for everything from ad-hoc voice groups to project collaboration. Bots work in them too, because why wouldn't they?
Our public API is so powerful that we use it ourselves for the official apps. If you're a developer, you'll feel right at home building with Stoat, whether it's a simple bot or a custom client.
We have an open issue tracker. If you have a problem with the software, want to request a feature, or just want to say hi, we're all ears: just join our community server and let us know what you think.
