First screen

Sign in to your workspace

The first thing the app asks for is your workspace address. Type it in and you land in your organisation’s chat, with its name, logo and rooms.

A self-hosted Ethora server: your own address, for example chat.yourcompany.com

Your users on mobile today

No app to build and no store review to wait for. Create a workspace, invite people, and they install Ethora and enter the workspace address. Your name, colours and default rooms come from the workspace settings in the Ethora admin panel.

When you want your own store listing, the same stack ships as a white-label app.

Self-hosted

For self-hosted installs

The Ethora app works with Ethora Core installs and dedicated servers. Your users enter your server’s address on the first screen, and messages and files stay on your server.

Built on the open-source Ethora SDKs

The React Native chat SDK powers the Ethora app. Teams that build their own app use the same SDKs for Android, iOS and the web.

Is the Ethora app free?

Yes. The app is free to install from Google Play, and the web app is free to open in your browser. What your organisation pays depends on its Ethora workspace plan; see pricing.

Can I use it with my self-hosted Ethora server?

Yes. On the first screen, enter your server’s address instead of an Ethora Cloud workspace, for example chat.yourcompany.com. The app works with Ethora Core installs and dedicated servers, and your messages and files stay on your server. See Get Ethora for every way to install the server.

Is there an iPhone app?

The iOS app is in App Store review. Until it is listed, iPhone users can open the web app, or install it from Safari: open pwa.chat.ethora.com, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

Can I publish it under my own brand?

Yes. The Ethora app shows your workspace’s name, colours and rooms. When you want your own name and icon in the stores, the same stack ships as a white-label app.

Does it work with AI agents?

Yes. AI assistants added to your workspace answer questions right inside the conversation. You set them up in the Ethora admin panel; see the AI SDK.

Where is my data stored?

On the server behind your workspace. For an Ethora Cloud workspace that is Ethora’s cloud; for a self-hosted install it is your own server, in the cloud account or data centre you choose. The app connects to that server; push notifications are delivered through Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging.
