Sloga
What it is
Sloga is a free chat app for gaming communities, offering servers, channels, roles, low-latency voice, video, and screen sharing. Communities can add events, threads, forums, announcement channels, and Discover listings, with automatic real-time translation in every channel. Messages and attachments support end-to-end encryption; calls are encrypted in the Windows, Linux, and Android apps. Device-based call transcription works on Windows, Android, and the web, while Linux support is forthcoming. Discord server templates can be imported to recreate categories, channels, roles, and permissions without linking a Discord account. Attachments can reach 5GB, but files over 20MB are deleted after 24 hours. Watch parties support YouTube and Jellyfin with synchronized playback using each participant’s copy. Sloga offers browser, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android apps; iOS is coming soon. It says it does not track users, run ads or analytics, store IP logs, or require government ID checks.
