Hey all — been lurking here and seeing everyone scramble since Skype shut
down. Built something I think fits what people here are actually looking for.
Phaze isn’t a protocol revival or a patch — it’s a new service built from
scratch with the classic Skype feel in mind. Works right now, no waiting.
What’s working today:
- Text, voice, video calls
- Servers + channels (like Skype group chats, but organized)
- Direct messages
- Android app (on the Play Store)
- Linux desktop app (.deb package available)
- End-to-end encryption on DMs
- No Microsoft account, no Teams, no corporate garbage
It’s not trying to be a Skype 7 impersonator — it won’t connect your old
client. It’s more like “what if someone rebuilt Skype’s vibe as a clean modern
service.” If you just want somewhere to chat with people that doesn’t feel
like a corporate meeting room, this is it.
Happy to answer questions. Still actively building it.
