The dreaded 'seen'
A read receipt turns a quiet moment into an unspoken demand to reply.
CORAX.chat — messaging without the pressure
CORAX.chat takes the anxiety out of messaging — no 'seen', no 'typing…', notifications off by default, and the freedom to step away without anyone watching.
The little signals add up to constant pressure.
A read receipt turns a quiet moment into an unspoken demand to reply.
One buzz pulls you back in, and the badge count sits there nagging.
Online dots and 'last seen' broadcast your every move, whether you want it or not.
You set the pace — quietly.
Read receipts and typing indicators are off — reply when it suits you.
Notifications start silent; you choose exactly what's allowed to reach you.
Hide your presence and take breaks — no one's watching the clock.
Decentralized, encrypted, portable. And no black box, ever.
Encryption by default. Nobody can read your messages.
Olm and Megolm protocols — the same battle-tested cryptography behind Element. Keys never leave your device.
Built on Matrix. Federated, no single point of failure, self-hostable.
Hundreds of independent servers already federate over Matrix. If one goes down, the network keeps running — and you can self-host yours.
Open code, documented process. No black box.
AGPLv3-licensed code, public roadmap, transparent governance backed by a French non-profit. Anyone can audit, fork or contribute.
Designed from scratch with the people concerned, not for them.
Screen-reader pass on every release, dyslexic-font option, high-contrast theme, and a keyboard-first interface.
CORAX.chat's beta is coming. Join the waitlist for calmer messaging.
