the problem

Your company already runs on chat. Someone else holds 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.

held by the vendor
Your messages sit on infrastructure you don't control.
not end-to-end
The vendor can read what your teams write. So can anyone who compels them.
exit penalty
Leaving means losing the history. That is the lock-in.
open protocol, hidden

Invisible by design

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.

encryption

Encryption that just works

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.

no lock-in

Your data, your exit

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.

reliability

Quietly reliable

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.

the product

It just looks like very good chat.

No handles, no server names, no settings your team shouldn't have to see. Tayet is designed to disappear into the workday.

A new device means signing in. Message history returns on its own โ€” no recovery phrases, no key files.
adoption

Built for how your team actually works.

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.

security & sovereignty

Private by architecture, not by policy.

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.

encryption

End-to-end, on by default

Messages are encrypted on the sender's device and decrypted on the recipient's. The server โ€” ours or yours โ€” stores ciphertext.

key recovery

Escrow without the burden

Each organization holds its own key escrow. Devices back up automatically; a lost laptop is recovered with a sign-in, not a recovery phrase.

identity

Your identity provider

SSO via OIDC against the IdP you already run. Provisioning and offboarding follow your directory โ€” revoke once, revoked everywhere.

hosting

Your infrastructure

Run Tayet on your own hardware or cloud. Full export at any time, in open formats. Federation stays off unless you turn it on.

two ways in

Start where you are.

for startups

Own it from day one

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.
