tremor
No servers. No surveillance. Just The Grid.
P2P community chat with voice, end-to-end encryption, and community-owned infrastructure. A Discord alternative that nobody controls.
A vibration that propagates through a medium
without a central source.
Everything you love about modern chat apps, minus the company watching over your shoulder.
Peer-to-Peer Chat
Messages travel directly between you and your community. No central server to harvest your data, get breached, or go offline.
Voice Chat
Crystal-clear voice channels built on P2P connections. Low latency, no middleman, no recording. Just conversation.
End-to-End Encryption
Ed25519 signatures and X25519 key exchange. Your messages are your own. Cryptography, not promises.
Always-On Epicenters
Community members run Epicenters — always-on nodes that keep your community alive even when you sleep. Earn Pulse for contributing.
Pulse Token Economy
Earn Pulse by running infrastructure, moderating, and contributing. No investment required — just participation. Your Magnitude reflects your impact.
No Sign-Up Required
No email, no phone number, no account. Launch Tremor and a cryptographic identity is generated on your device. You own it.
How The Grid Works
Tremor replaces central servers with a mesh of peers. Here's what that means for you.
Launch Tremor
Download and open Tremor. A cryptographic identity is generated locally on your device. No sign-up forms, no email, no phone number.
Join The Grid
Your client discovers peers through bootstrap nodes, then connects directly to other Tremor users via libp2p. You're now part of The Grid.
Create or Join a Community
Start a community and share a Shockwave invite link. Friends join through the tremor:// protocol. Organize conversations into Frequencies (channels).
Chat, Talk, Build
Messages sync via CRDTs — conflict-free, offline-capable, and resilient. Jump into voice channels. Your data stays on your devices and those of your community members.
