Jami is a fully decentralized communication platform offering secure messaging, audio/video calls, screen sharing, and file transfers. Unlike typical chat apps, Jami uses a peer-to-peer network instead of central servers. It runs on desktop, mobile, and even Linux distributions where self-hosted or offline messaging is important.
If you want reliable communication without surrendering data to a commercial provider, Jami is one of the few modern tools designed with privacy first. It removes the need for servers, accounts, or phone numbers. This makes it useful for privacy-dependent workflows, teams in regulated industries, and users in regions where centralized services are blocked or monitored.
Jami uses distributed hash tables (DHTs) to locate contacts and establish encrypted connections directly between devices. Every message, call, and file transfer is end-to-end encrypted. Communication works peer-to-peer, though devices must be online at the same time for real-time syncing.
