What is Recline.social?

Recline is a privacy-focused community chat platform organized around servers and channels. Community owners can manage invite links, custom roles and granular permissions, while members can use real-time channel messaging, direct messages, reactions, mentions, pinned messages, file attachments and a friend system.

Channel messages are encrypted in the browser using AES-GCM-256 with keys derived from a community passphrase. Direct messages use ECDH P-256 key exchange, while voice and video calls use WebRTC with peer-to-peer media where possible. Screen sharing is also supported. Accounts require only a username and password, with no email address or phone number required. The client source is published under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Recline also includes Sparks, a community reward system. Members earn Sparks through daily participation and can spend them on tips, animated messages and server-wide announcements. Eligible creator earnings can be cashed out through Stripe. Core chat, voice and video features are free, while optional Sparks purchases and a supporter subscription are available.

Recline is currently in open alpha. Its privacy documentation notes that metadata such as usernames, message timestamps, presence and community membership is stored. Uploaded files are not currently encrypted at rest.
