The Problem
Discord got greedy.
We got building.
What started as a gamer chat app is now a storefront. Nitro popups. Boosting tiers. Features locked behind subscriptions. We think chat should just be chat.

The old way

$9.99/mo for bigger uploads. Animated avatars behind a paywall. Boosting tiers for "better" servers. Server limits unless you pay. Constant upsell popups interrupting your conversations.

The Basecamp way

Everything works. Everything is free. Voice in every channel. No artificial limits. No premium tiers. No "you could upgrade..." banners. Just chat.

Voice + Text, Together

Every channel has voice.
Because why not?

The idea of separate "text" and "voice" channels is outdated. In Basecamp, start a call in any channel. Others can join — or just keep typing. No one's forced into anything.

Beautiful & Yours

Glass UI with
8 themes built in.

Frosted glass panels, ambient backgrounds, customizable blur intensity. Pick from Aurora, Ember, Neon Night, and more. Make it yours without paying for a "theme pack." You already tried them above.

Cross Platform

One app.
Every device.

Web, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows — built with React Native so it works everywhere from a single codebase. No feature gaps between platforms.

Free for private use. Forever.
Personal communities, friend groups, hobby servers — always free with all features included. No limits, no catches. Paid tiers coming later for organisations, businesses, and housing corporations that need admin tools and support.

Transparency
Honest about where we are.
Basecamp is in active development. It's real, it works, and you can start using it today — but it's not finished yet. Here's what you should know.
Messages are not yet encrypted

End-to-end encryption is a top priority and actively being worked on. Until it ships, messages are stored securely on our servers but are not E2E encrypted. Don't share sensitive information you wouldn't put in an email.
