Create a Group πŸ“²

A group in Keet is a space for secure communication where you can chat, make calls, and share files.

You can create and join as many groups as you want. They can be completely private, for a small company, family or friends, or they can grow into a large and vibrant community with thousands of members. πŸ’«

Keet uses peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging, which means your data travels directly between users. No servers, no middlemen.
