Open beta live - v1.0

Where friendsstay close.

A cleaner chat app for friends, gaming groups, and small communities. Voice, messages, widgets, and private spaces without the noise.

Free forever Windows and Linux x64 available

Three things we got
obsessed with.

Most chat apps try to do a hundred things badly. We picked what actually matters for hanging out and built it clean.

Personal widgets dashboard

Your own home screen for notes, checklists, calendar reminders, calls, and custom widgets in one clean dashboard.

Private DMs and calls

One-to-one messages and voice calls for the conversations that should stay away from public channels.

Friends and communities

Small groups, gaming nights, and community spaces without the feed energy that makes everything feel loud.

Actual app, actual screens.

The site should show the thing itself, so here is the current ALTARA dashboard doing real product work.

ALTARA widgets dashboard with checklist, calendar, notepad, call panel, online status, and unread DMs

Widgets first

Checklist, calendar, notepad, calls, status, and unread DMs live on the same clean home screen.

ALTARA friends list with best friends and online people

People stay close

Friends, best friends, and group spaces stay visible without turning the app into a giant public feed.

ALTARA call widget with quick actions for friends, pending requests, and adding friends

Calls stay quick

Jump into voice, open pending requests, or start a DM without digging through layers of UI.
