Open Hearth

Hearth 1.35.0 is out

Your friends. Your server.
Nobody else’s business.

A free place to hang out with the people you actually talk to. No ads, no tracking, nothing for sale.

Open Hearth in your browser Download for Windows

Free. Every feature, every theme.

Hearth in the dark theme: a server with channels on the left, a group chat about a lake trip in the middle and the member list on the right.

What it is

A home for your friend group, club or community. Chat, hop into voice, share your screen. Set up in a minute.

Notes you write together.

Pull messages and photos out of chat into a note, then edit it together, live.

A Hearth note called Cabin weekend with chat messages and a photo pulled in from chat, and a friend’s live cursor while they edit.

Bots, or build your own with blocks.

Welcomes, roles, verification. Snap blocks together, no code needed.

The Hearth block editor with a verify flow: when someone clicks Verify, DM them a code, then give them a role.

Every theme is free.
