An open world.
Your name. Your people. Your rules.
A group chat app where your name is yours for life, the server is whoever you want, and nobody can lock you out.
On the air
What it feels like.
Communities, living on open standards. Names you can trust. People you can find again anywhere.
What makes it different
It's yours, not theirs.
Discord and Telegram are great, until they're not. One policy change, and your community is gone. Orbee's built so that can't happen.
A name for life
Pick a handle like myname@orbee and it's yours forever. Nobody can take it, rename it, or lock you out - not orbee, not anyone.
Host it yourself
A group lives on a server. Run your own for your friends, or join groups on public ones. Disagree with the host? Start your own, bring your name.
Open world
Built on Nostr and Spaces - a set of standards for an open internet. Talk to anyone on any compatible app. No walled gardens.
How we stack up
vs. the usual suspects.
| Discord · Telegram · Slack | Orbee | |
|---|---|---|
| Your name | The company owns it. Banned? Name's gone. | Yours for life. Nobody can take it. |
| Where it runs | One company's servers. Their terms, their call. | Any server you want - yours, ours, a friend's. |
| Leaving | Locked in. Your messages stay on their servers. | Pack up and go. Same name, new server. |
| Your data | You're the product. | You're the owner. No analytics, no tracking. |
