Everything on one account
Chat, voice, clips, live and communities.
Most chat apps stop at the conversation. Frenz adds the social side: a feed of clips and videos from people you follow, profiles and public watch pages, all on the same login.
Free voice
Squad voice rooms and community voice channels with screen share and cameras.
DMs with calls
Message a friend or ring them directly. No server needed for a private chat.
Live streaming
Go live from the browser or with OBS, keep recordings as videos and chat with viewers.
Communities
Text channels, voice, a shared feed, events, photo channels, roles and moderation.
Voice and clips together
Talk the whole session. Clip the best part.
Voice is free. The free Windows app records behind you while you play, so the play of the night is never lost.
Voice without the fiddling
Open a squad voice room for tonight or give the crew permanent voice channels in a community. Defaults are set so you can just talk.
Push to talk or open mic Your call
Noise suppression On by default
Per-person volume Built in
Screen share with audio Free
Cameras and device pickers Included
Clips from the Windows app
Clips land as private drafts on your profile and publish when you choose. Trim, add music and tag the squad members who were in the moment, so the clip shows on their profiles too.

A clear comparison
Our goal: simpler than Discord.
One of our main product goals is to remove the irritation around setup and navigation. Fewer settings to hunt for, fewer dead ends, and a new member lands in the right room in one click.
When Discord fits better
If your group depends on deep permission systems or the huge ecosystem built around large Discord servers, Discord is a strong fit today. Frenz keeps roles and settings shorter on purpose, and you can run both side by side.
No forced switch
Move your crew at your own pace.
Trying a new app is a group decision. Keep Discord running while the crew tests Frenz, and let the group settle where it plays best.
Create your community
Pick a name, set it public or private and connect the games you play.
Add the channels you use
Start with general chat and one voice channel. Add more when it helps.
Invite your members
Share the invite with the same people. One account gets them chat, voice and the feed.
Keep Discord in parallel
Run both for as long as you want. Nothing forces the move, so nobody gets left behind.
