Conversations that stay organised
Threads keep side topics tidy. Replies, reactions, Markdown and code blocks, link previews, typing indicators and unread markers, all in real time. Search finds any message you can read and jumps straight to it.

Stream your game in a corner while you chat
Your team and your community. One place, with a wall between.
Nive is chat, drop-in voice and smooth screen sharing for indie studios, creators and open-source projects. A private team side and a public community side live in the same space, one click apart.

Built for people who run a team and a community at the same time
- Indie game studios
- Creators & streamers
- Open-source projects
- Small teams & clubs
Team + community
Two sides. One space. A wall between them.
Your community chats, plays and reports bugs on one side. Your team plans, reviews and ships on the other. Community members never see the team side: not its channels, not its messages, not even that it's there.
- Enforced by the server. The wall holds before any role or permission does, even for an administrator.
- Two kinds of invite. Team links and community links, each with an expiry and a use limit.
- Your people stand out. A TEAM badge marks who's from the studio when they post in the community.
- Roles on both sides. Permissions per space, overrides per channel, and a hierarchy so moderators can't touch admins.
Voice & video
Drop in. Talk. Share your game at 60 frames a second.
Voice rooms work like real rooms: click one and you're in. Share a game or a window in full HD, with its sound, and keep chatting while it plays in a corner.
−44 dB
Studio-clean voice
Noise suppression runs on your own device. In our tests it cut fan and keyboard noise by 44 dB, and your voice never leaves for cleaning.
0.1 dB
Everyone at the same volume
Automatic volume evens out the whisperers and the shouters: voices 27 dB apart came out within 0.1 dB of each other.
1080p60
Screen sharing that stays sharp
Encoded on your graphics card. The resolution you pick holds for the whole stream; when bandwidth dips, frames give way, not sharpness.
-
The game's sound, not yours
Share an app's sound without the call in it, so nobody hears their own voice echo back.
-
The stream follows you
Leave the call page and the stream keeps playing in a small window you can drag anywhere.
-
Push to talk, any key
Or a voice gate that opens when you speak. Mute and deafen from anywhere with global shortcuts.
-
Volume per person
Turn anyone up to 200% or down to silence, remembered for next time.
Chat
Everything a community needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Personas
Up to five profiles on one account, each with its own name, photo and status. Choose which one every space sees.
Notifications you control
Push on the web, desktop and phone, and a mentions inbox. Every message, mentions only or nothing, per space and per channel.
Files and voice messages
Paste or drop up to 10 files of 25 MB each. Record a voice message of up to 10 minutes, cleaned like your calls.
Friends and DMs
Friend requests, DMs and group DMs for up to 10 people. Decide who can message you, and block anyone.
Mentions that land
Mention a person, a role or @everyone. Nive only suggests people who can actually see the channel.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Nive?
A place for a group to talk: spaces with text channels, threads and drop-in voice rooms, plus DMs and friends. What makes it different is that each space has two sides, one for your team and one for your community.
How is it different from Discord or Slack?
Discord is built for communities and Slack for teams, so studios and creators usually juggle both. Nive puts your team and your community in the same space, with a wall between them that the server enforces, so you stop copying messages between apps.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Nive runs in your browser at app.nive.chat, voice and screen sharing included. Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android are coming, and they use the same account.
Are my calls private?
Calls in DMs are end-to-end encrypted: the key is agreed between the people in the call and never reaches our servers, and a safety code lets you check. Voice rooms in spaces are encrypted on their way to Nive's own servers, and your voice is cleaned up on your device.
Can my community see my team's channels?
Never. Team channels don't exist for community members: they aren't listed, they can't be opened, and they don't show up in search. Not even giving someone Administrator changes that; only a team invite does.
Can I bring my Discord server?
Importing channels, categories and roles from Discord is on the way. Until then, setting up a space takes about a minute: pick a layout and Nive creates the channels for you.
Bring your people home.
Make a space for your team and your community in about a minute. Invite them with one link each.
