Chatiw alternative
ChatIwI: secure community energy for every chat zone
ChatIwI blends Matrix-standard end-to-end encryption, no IP logging, and a community-built roadmap so Kenyan and global chatters get a safer space than Chatiw.
Matrix-standard E2EE • Zero IP retention
Donation funded
Independence from ads keeps trackers out of the experience and lets donations power infrastructure upgrades.
Matrix encryption
Double-ratchet encryption guards every room, meaning even admins cannot read Kenyan or diaspora conversations.
Community-run blueprint
ChatIwI listens to local hosts, safety volunteers, and power users to plan releases that match African chat culture.
01
Participatory building
Each sprint starts with RFCs from the community so moderation tools, safety prompts, and feature priorities come from real rooms.
02
Donation-powered focus
Transparent donation meters show where money goes—hosting, audits, and accessibility upgrades—never toward surveillance.
03
User needs over profit
No interstitial ads, no trackers, just encrypted conversations built for people who care about privacy.
Security doctrine
ChatIwI treats privacy as an engineering requirement across mobile data, fiber, and satellite connections.
Matrix-standard encryption
Chats, media, and calls use audited Matrix double-ratchet encryption so ciphertext never decrypts on our servers.
No IP storage
Connection metadata is wiped instantly, preventing IP-based profiling whether you're chatting from Kisumu or abroad.
Sealed private groups
Invite-only rooms get their own encryption keys and role controls so sensitive discussions stay compartmentalized.
ChatIwI vs. Chatiw
One platform is built for privacy; the other is monetized through ads and loose policies.
ChatIwI advantages
- Matrix E2EE for 1:1, group, and media flows.

- No ads, trackers, or third-party data brokers.
Chatiw limitations
- Logs IP addresses and server activity for long periods.
- No end-to-end encryption—admins can read messages.

Key takeaways
