The server is yours
Anten runs as a single program on your machine. Accounts, rooms and files stay there; it depends on no other service.
On your own server
Your server, your conversations.
Anten brings voice rooms, text chat, camera and screen sharing together in one installation. You run it, you share its address. Voice and video are end-to-end encrypted by default, messages in the rooms you choose.
End-to-end encrypted
By default, voice and video are encrypted before they leave the device. The server only forwards sealed packets and never sees the keys.
Clear voice
Advanced noise suppression, a gate that opens for speech and automatic levels for clear, low-latency conversation.
A quick tour
A closer look at Anten
Voice rooms, one click away
Voice rooms sit in the room list as cards, and a ring around a name shows who is speaking. Microphone, sound and sharing controls stay at hand in the voice bar at the top.
Screen sharing, with sound
Share your screen or a single window together with its sound. The picture goes only to those who choose to watch, and each viewer sets the stream's volume for themselves.
End-to-end encrypted messages
In encrypted rooms, messages, files and reactions are encrypted on your device; the server only stores what it cannot read. Compare your safety number with the other person to be sure nobody is in between.
Advanced noise suppression
Keyboards, fans and background sound are taken out of your microphone, and the voice gate opens only when you speak. Choose the strength: Light, Normal or Strong.
Groups, permissions and power values
Server and channel groups grant permissions together with their values. To speak in a room, join it or remove someone from it, your power must reach the value the room or that person requires.
Commands and the music bot
Type “/” in the message box to see the commands of the bots that can see the room. The music bot shows the song playing in a panel with buttons: skipping, pausing and opening the queue take one press.
In-game overlay
While you are in a voice room, the Windows desktop app shows who is speaking in a corner of your game. The overlay lets clicks through and never touches the game; you choose the corner and who appears.

What is inside
Everything a community needs
Voice rooms
Move between rooms with one click, use push-to-talk, decide who may speak room by room.
Camera and screen sharing
Share your screen with its sound; the picture adapts to each viewer's connection by itself.
Text chat
Replies, reactions, pinned messages, polls, files and the server's own emoji.
Direct messages
One-to-one conversations or groups of up to ten; always end-to-end encrypted.
Fine-grained permissions
Server and channel groups, power values, room passwords, bans and an audit log.
Bots and integrations
Bots with commands, buttons and menus, a music bot, and webhooks for outside systems.
How it works
Your own server in three steps
Set up the server
Run Anten with Docker Compose on your own machine or a rented server. The first start gives you an administrator key.
Share the address
Give your community the server's address. You decide who may join and how many may connect.
Connect
People connect from the browser or the desktop app. No account needed: the device makes its own identity key, and a nickname is enough.
Privacy
Encrypted content stays closed to the server
- No metrics, analytics or ads; the app sends no request to any other site.
- Administrators see who is where; never end-to-end encrypted content.
- Safety numbers and key pinning let you notice anyone who steps in between.
- Your identity key stays on your device, locked with a password or a passkey if you wish.
