Toju is a communication app that lets you voice chat, share your screen, send files, and message your friends - all without your data passing through someone else's servers. Think of it as your own private phone line that nobody can tap into.
When you start a call or send a file on Toju, your data travels directly from your device to your friend's device. There's no company server in the middle storing your conversations, listening to your calls, or scanning your files. This is called peer-to-peer - it's like having a direct road between your houses instead of going through a toll booth.
The only thing a server does is help your device find your friend's device - like a mutual friend introducing you at a party. Once you're connected, the server steps out of the picture entirely. It never sees what you say, share, or send. This helper is called a signal server, and you can even run your own if you'd like.
Since your data doesn't pass through our servers, we don't need to pay for massive infrastructure. That's why Toju can offer unlimited screen sharing, file transfers of any size, and high-quality voice - all completely free. There's no business reason to limit what you can do, and we never will.
We didn't just add privacy as a feature - we built the entire app around it. When there's no central server handling your data, there's nothing to hack, subpoena, or sell. Your privacy isn't protected by a promise; it's protected by how the technology works.
Direct connections mean lower latency. Your voice reaches your friend faster. Your screen share is smoother. Your file arrives in the time it actually takes to transfer - not in the time it takes to upload, store, then download.
Running a traditional chat service with millions of users costs enormous amounts of money for servers. That cost gets passed to you. With peer-to-peer, the only infrastructure we run is a tiny coordination server - costing almost nothing. That's how we keep it free permanently.
You're not locked into our ecosystem. The code is open source. You can run your own server. If we ever disappeared tomorrow, you could still use Toju. Your communication tools should belong to you, not a corporation.
Yes, it's really free. There is no catch. Because Toju uses peer-to-peer connections, we don't need expensive server infrastructure. Our costs are minimal, and we fund development through community support and donations. Every feature is available to everyone.
Not at all. Toju works like any other chat app - download it, create an account, and start talking. All the peer-to-peer magic happens behind the scenes. You just enjoy the benefits of better privacy, performance, and no limits.
The signal server is a tiny program that helps users find each other online. We run one by default, but if you prefer complete control, you can run your own copy on your own hardware. It's like having your own private phone directory - only people you invite can use it.
Your conversations, files, and calls go directly between you and the person you're talking to. They never pass through or get stored on our servers. Even if someone broke into our server, there would be nothing to find - because we never had your data in the first place.
Available on Windows, Linux, and in your browser. Always free.
