A free Discord alternative: low-latency LiveKit/WebRTC voice, communities, end-to-end encrypted direct messages, screen sharing and online presence. Privacy-minded, self-hostable, no install required.
Murmur is a free voice, video and text chat app that runs in your browser. It is built on LiveKit/WebRTC for low-latency voice, with communities, direct messages, screen sharing and online presence — no install required.
Yes. The core app is free: servers, low-latency voice and video, and end-to-end encrypted direct messages. Paid tiers add more servers, bigger uploads and profile customization.
Murmur covers the essentials people use Discord for — voice rooms, text channels, roles and invites — while staying lightweight, privacy-minded and fully usable in the browser. You can also self-host the entire stack.
No. Murmur runs entirely in modern browsers and can be installed as a PWA on desktop and mobile for an app-like experience.
Yes. The server, database and LiveKit SFU can run on your own infrastructure, so your community's data stays under your control.
Direct messages support end-to-end encryption, voice travels over encrypted WebRTC, and the project follows a privacy-first design with minimal logging and no ad tracking.
