Chat
Guilds with channels, categories, roles and permissions. Replies, reactions, pins, search, markdown and spoilers. Custom emoji and stickers work everywhere, for everyone, free. (Take that, Nitro.)
What's in it?
Friends
Friend requests by username, message requests from people you don't know yet, blocking, group DMs, and an inbox for server announcements. Hop between accounts and servers from one switcher.
Yours
One small Python server and one SQLite file. You own the data and set the rules. Back everything up with one command. Swap the logo and sounds for your own by replacing a file.

Let's get started!
- Someone runs a server. A Python 3.11+ box: a spare PC, a Raspberry Pi, a cheap VPS. The README walks through it.
- Everyone opens the client. It's this website. Nothing to install.
- Type in the server's address, make an account and say hi.
Before you dive in
- This is vibecoded by Claude, have fun :) It works, it has tests, but nobody has audited it.
- Built for personal use: a few friends, a big friend group at most. It's not meant to be a big public service.
- Server owners can see your IP address, and they can read everything on their server. Only join servers run by people you trust.
- Nightcord is a parody. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Discord.
