What is Strafe?
StrafeChat is a web application supporting open communication. It has various features designed for privacy, including end-to-end encryption for confidential conversations. Users can use markdown support, code blocks, and rich embeds, create and join communities, and make voice and video calls with screen sharing. Secure file sharing with no size limit is available, and there are no ads, tracking, or data harvesting. StrafeChat works on desktop, web, and mobile, with conversations synced across devices. Its codebase is open-source, with no hidden trackers or backdoors. Users can run StrafeChat on their infrastructure, with no restrictions on data export, migration, or self-hosting.










Comments and Reviews
Strafe is a great free, open-source chat platform that allows people to express themselves freely and connect with others. If you don't want your speech or data to be controlled by Big Tech, then Strafe is for you!
Strafe is pretty cool, I would give four stars but Bryden would hurt me (I'm locked in his basement). The developers are chill dudes who have a passion for free speech and open source.
Strafe is amazing, Like the developers are chill. Performs similar to discord. A really good alternative - if you like sense of ownership over your data and fully open sourced applications - Strafe is a good app for you!
