RoseChat Linux

Stop Sending Your Data to the Cloud.

In an era where every message is logged, analyzed, and stored on a remote server, RoseChat brings your conversations back home.

RoseChat is a lightweight, zero-configuration messaging app designed exclusively for your Local Area Network (LAN). Whether you are in a dorm room, an office, a homelab, or just sitting on the couch next to your partner—RoseChat lets you communicate instantly without your data ever leaving your Wi-Fi.
Why RoseChat?
📡 100% Serverless & Offline

RoseChat doesn't need the internet. It doesn't need a signup. It doesn't need a central server.

Internet Down? No problem. As long as your router is on, RoseChat works.

No Accounts: Just open the app, pick a username, and you're live.

Zero Latency: Messages fly at the speed of your local network.

🔒 Military-Grade Privacy

We believe your local chats should stay local.

AES-256 Encryption: Every single packet is wrapped in industry-standard encryption. Even if someone is snooping on your network with Wireshark, all they see is scrambled noise.

No Logs: We don't have servers, so we literally can't store your data.

Custom Network Keys: Want a private channel? Set a custom "Secret Key" in the settings. Only peers with that key can see your messages or even know you exist.

💬 Powerful Features, Simple UI

Built with a beautiful, distraction-free "Slate" dark mode that looks great on any desktop.

Public Broadcast: Shout out to everyone on the network in the main lobby.

Direct Messaging: Click any user for a private, one-on-one encrypted chat.

Presence Discovery: Automatic detection of anyone else running RoseChat on your Wi-Fi.

Unread Indicators: Never miss a DM with intuitive notification dots.

Who is this for?

Dev Teams: Securely drop code snippets and discuss sensitive logic without using Slack or Discord.

Homelabs & Families: A dedicated "household intercom" that works even when the ISP goes down.

Privacy Advocates: For when you want 100% assurance that "End-to-End" actually means End-to-End.
