We built Parley because a community shouldn't have to rent its own conversations. On centralized chat apps, your server, your messages, and your members all live on someone else's infrastructure, under someone else's rules — and they can change or disappear with a policy update. Parley is open-source chat you can run yourself with a single command, so a community keeps every byte on hardware it controls. And since voice on most chat apps treats music like speech, we built hi-fi channels and a recording studio in, so bands can actually jam and record together remotely.
