Just dropped v1.4-beta of ONYX — an open-source, privacy-first messenger with E2E encryption for private chats and self-hostable groups/channels.


This release is mostly about media experience.

Voice Channels — but with a twist. If you’re self-hosting an ONYX server on your local network, you now get real-time voice inside your group. No cloud, no third-party servers.

Media Player — vinyl record animation when playing music, seek ±10 seconds, playback speed from 0.25x to 4x with presets, next/previous track, auto-repeat. Audio files now show their filename instead of a generic label.

Audio Settings — microphone and output device selection, so you can actually choose what hardware ONYX uses.


Why ONYX?

Would love feedback, especially from anyone running it on LAN setups.

This update actually wouldn’t have happened without your suggestion — you pushed me to finally implement it. Thank you!

Obligatory mention: if you can, try and switch away from GitHub! I highly recommend codeberg, which is based on the self-host able software, Forgejo.
