From the Lab

We publish what we learn building radio-grade comms in the browser.

Field note

Blind Server, Don't Ask Don't Tell

End-to-end delivery through infrastructure that refuses to become a surveillance product.
Field note

When Slow Clients Almost Melted the Radio

WebSockets buffer silently. We had to teach the channel to survive congested mobile peers.
Field note

Making iOS Safari Keep the Channel Open

Background tabs, AudioContext suspension, and the fight to keep parked listening alive.
Field note

Built Different

Engineering wins we once thought impossible inside a web app — without giving away the recipe.

In production

Real PTT, not a conference call

Half-duplex keyed audio with channel fairness, cooldowns, and rosters — walkie-talkie etiquette, not Zoom.
In production

Classic Mode for operators

One switch strips chaos UI and leaves a professional radio feel for serious keyed use.
In production

Parked listening on iOS

Keep the channel open when Safari wants to silence background audio.
In production

Voice Puppet

Character voices converted on-device in the browser before your key-up hits the channel.
In production

On-device safety gates

NSFW vision and OCR screenshot scan before media lands in the shared Feed.
In production

Broadcast-grade audio

Per-key loudness matching, ear protection, and a full Web Audio chain — not a volume slider.
In production

Congestion-aware delivery

Latest key-up wins when the socket backs up — slow clients don't melt the radio.

Built for operators. Loved by chaos.

Sixteen themed rooms with queued push-to-talk, tap or hold modes, live queue controls, speaker cues, and “notify when busy” alerts. Join with a nickname — no email, no account.

KAOS FM

In-app radio with playlist rotation and live daytime inserts. Radio pauses when you open the mic so you don't rebroadcast the stream.

Inbox for private text, images, and video; friends; live whispers; channel reactions and custom emoji slots; monthly leaderboards and Hall of Fame.

Chaos Bank & VIP

Earn and spend Chaos Chips, trade KAOS stock, place wagers, and unlock day passes for premium cosmetics. VIP adds ad-free listening, priority key-ups, Voice Changers, and more.

Ghost Mode, Megaphone, Battle, Vote Kick, emoji hijacks, and channel pranks — buy with chips or unlock with a rewarded ad where available.

Make it yours

UI themes and wallpapers, name colors, talk-button skins, huge roger-beep packs, and VIP Voice Changers. Stay private with block/mute controls — not real-name accounts.
