Private team communication — that stays on your network and keeps working when connections don't.
Group chat, durable direct messages, offline catch-up, files, voice and optional mobile push — without individual staff accounts or a central cloud chat server.
3 stations connected · Recent group history replicated
Built on a secure local mesh network
Your PCs communicate directly across the local network. Core chat doesn't depend on a cloud chat server, so staff can keep talking during an internet outage.
One connected team
Group conversations, private messages, files, voice messages, reactions, replies, mentions and presence — without staff creating individual accounts.
Real notifications when you're away
Receive push notifications on iPhone and Android even when Station Chat isn't open. Notification retention can be controlled by your administrator.
Your data stays under your control
Stored conversations and files are encrypted at rest, with optional end-to-end encryption for private conversations.
Stable Mobile is the recommended path for every device — Station Chat Local is there if you ever need to work without internet. Either way, the station itself keeps running — this is only about how a phone or browser finds it.
Staff scan the QR code shown by an authorized station and add Station Chat to their Home Screen, with no App Store needed. Works on iPhone, Android, Mac and any modern browser.

Security you can verify, not just a padlock icon.
Local-first by design
Group conversations and stored history remain on your office network. External services are used only for specific features that require them: push delivery, locating a station after its network address changes, initial license activation and software updates. Core chat and communication between stations continue locally without internet.
Encrypted storage
Messages and files encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
Authenticated encrypted mesh
Stations verify each other before any message moves between them.
End-to-end encrypted DMs
Optional, with safety-code verification for private conversations.
You control every device
Block a device at any time and its access and notifications stop.
Install Station Chat on a Windows PC, activate it and give the station a recognizable name.
Connect Your Team
Additional stations discover each other automatically on the same subnet. On a routed network segment, an administrator can connect a station directly by address instead. Staff scan the Station Chat QR to join from their phones.
Start Talking
Messages flow across your local mesh. Mobile users get push when away, while core LAN chat stays available without internet.
