Clear security notes for real deployments.

Team Chat Launcher is local-first and conservative about security claims, with boundaries described plainly.

Read security notes
  • Local-first design.Designed around private LAN collaboration rather than a hosted cloud chat service.
  • Hub boundary.The Hub does not store plaintext chat content.
  • Encrypted temporary file payloads.Temporary file hosting stores encrypted file payloads.
  • Explicit limits.This is not a Signal or MLS protocol implementation and does not claim third-party security audit coverage.
