iGotify

iGotify is an open, self-hosted communication platform — you install it on your own hardware and keep full control of your data. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.

Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 412 stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 24, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for iOS, Server.

Before you switch

Communication tools only work if your people can reach them. Check guest access, mobile apps, and federation or bridging support before migrating a community. Self-hosting gives you the data and the rules, but someone has to own updates and moderation.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, iGotify is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
