Self hosted collaboration, built for control.
RustChat is a minimal team messenger that puts you in the driver's seat. Deploy on your own infrastructure to keep your communication internal while providing a reliable interface. It's open-source, straightforward, and built for teams that value ownership.
A Collaboration Workspace You Control
Built for teams that want clear communication, direct ownership, and a service they can run on their own terms.
Persistent internal logs.
Maintain a reliable record of team decisions with standard message logging and basic search indexing for knowledge retrieval.
Native Markdown & Code.
Supports syntax highlighting, standard code blocks, and simple media attachments right in the chat.
Infrastructure Control
Keep your communication stack entirely within your own perimeter. Deploy on-premise or in your private cloud.
Sensible Workflow
Group context easily with threaded discussions, inline code snippets, and simple continuous integration hooks.
Open Source Foundation
Built openly. Inspect the source, compile the binary yourself, and verify the infrastructure your team relies on.
Streamlined team communication
Support your daily operations with fundamental features designed for cross-platform reliability.
Organized Messaging
