End-to-end encrypted by default, hosted on your terms, and polished enough that your team will actually use it.
Slack and Teams keep years of your conversations โ decisions, incidents, credentials โ on their servers, readable by the vendor. Encryption in transit is not encryption from the vendor. And when the contract ends, the archive stays behind.
Tayet runs on an open protocol โ and hides it completely. Your team sees channels, threads, and reactions in a fast, quiet interface. The architecture works underneath; nobody has to think about it.
Every conversation is end-to-end encrypted by default. Keys back up automatically to your organization's escrow, and recovery is transparent โ a new laptop means signing in, not managing keys.
Open protocol, self-hostable, fully exportable. Every message, file, and member record can leave with you. Switch Tayet off tomorrow and walk away with everything.
Sync issues heal themselves in the background. A message that fails to send says so plainly, and retries. Your team never sees an error code.
No handles, no server names, no settings your team shouldn't have to see. Tayet is designed to disappear into the workday.
Most private chat tools fail not on security, but on a Tuesday afternoon โ when the interface wears people down and they drift back to whatever is comfortable. Tayet treats fatigue as a design metric: one accent color used sparingly, motion that orients instead of entertains, type set for eight hours of reading. Privacy only protects the conversations that actually happen here.
Tayet is built on Matrix, the open standard for secure, decentralized communication. That's not a feature โ it's your guarantee. The protocol is public, the server is yours to run, and the data is yours to take.
Messages are encrypted on the sender's device and decrypted on the recipient's. The server โ ours or yours โ stores ciphertext.
Each organization holds its own key escrow. Devices back up automatically; a lost laptop is recovered with a sign-in, not a recovery phrase.
SSO via OIDC against the IdP you already run. Provisioning and offboarding follow your directory โ revoke once, revoked everywhere.
Run Tayet on your own hardware or cloud. Full export at any time, in open formats. Federation stays off unless you turn it on.
Self-host with a single deployment, or start on a managed instance and move home later. Either way the data model is the same โ yours.
