Chat that catches fire.
EmberChat is a realtime chat platform with rooms, media sharing, and LiveKit-powered voice and video. You log in with an EmberChat ID that lives on your device — no passwords, no email, no password database to leak.
The web app is live today. iPhone and iPad coming soon.
EmberChat is a cross-platform realtime chat platform. Spin up rooms for your community, share text and media, and hop into a voice or video call when typing isn't enough. Your account isn't an email and a password — it's a cryptographic key that lives on your device. We never ask for your email, phone number, or real name.
Rooms
A room for every community
Create spaces for text and media, set fine-grained access rights, and keep each room yours. Images and video are processed and served by EmberChat.
Everything you need to gather around the fire
Rooms for every conversation
Create and join rooms for text chat and media sharing — images and video, processed and served by EmberChat. Fine-grained access rights keep each space yours.
Realtime voice & video
Drop into low-latency audio and video powered by LiveKit. The server mints scoped, per-room tokens so calls stay tied to the room and your capabilities.
Passwordless EmberChat ID
Your EmberChat ID is a cryptographic keypair held on your device behind biometric unlock. You sign a challenge to log in — there are no passwords and no email accounts.
Everywhere you are
Use EmberChat on iPhone, iPad, and the web, with desktop coming soon. Start a conversation on your phone and pick it up in the browser.
Voice & video
When typing isn't enough
Drop into low-latency audio and video powered by LiveKit. The server mints scoped, per-room tokens so every call stays tied to its room and your capabilities — realtime, from any device.
