Speed by design
All the features of Howl are designed to run in one url, so your browser never has to load a new site. All is handled server-side
Rooms and corners, the place for you to meet and connect.
In rooms you can create corners to keep different topics organized and focused—whether it's for announcements, projects, or private chats.
- Rooms A home for your favourite communities, for your neighbourhood chess club, for the local art guild or any group that needs a dedicated space.
- Corners A subsection of rooms, allowing you to keep different topics organized and focused while still being in the same room.
- Every device Snappy on desktop and mobile so rooms stay warm on the move. Avaliable on Google Play and coming soon to Apple!
Privacy and security
Howl values user privacy and data protection. All servers are GDPR compliant, passwords are never stored in plain text, DM's are E2E encrypted and data will never be sold.
For the community
Howl is not profit driven. We don't have subscription models, ads in the chat,...
Howl makes money by charging a small transaction fee and through clearly labeled commision ads.

What guides us
Our Principles and values
-
Structure that breathes
Rooms and corners add order, not friction—so crews can move fast without chaos.
-
Presence is context
Signals like typing beams and replies make every corner feel human, not noisy.
-
Safety without walls
Role-aware controls, consent on DMs and mod tools protect communities at scale.
-
Community in the loop
We ship alongside the rooms who host daily rituals, and we evolve corners with them.
Ready to say hi?
Spin up a room and plot your first corners.
Tell us how your crew gathers—announcements, side quests, nightly hangs—and we will help design the right corners.
