Privacy-first P2P apps that feel practical

LobbyKit is a privacy-first approach to realtime apps and games. We’re starting with a simple iOS demo chat app that supports both Dark IRC and LRC (Living Room Chatter).

The concept

Simple primitives that make privacy-first realtime apps possible.

01

Session-first

Apps talk in sessions with signed events and minimal metadata.

02

Discovery with boundaries

Public lobbies when needed, private sessions when you don’t.

03

Indie-friendly

Small, focused tooling that doesn’t require centralized servers.
