Is ALTARA free?
Yes. ALTARA is free to use, and ALTARA+ is planned as the way to support development without bloating the core app.

Windows is available now. Linux x64 is available as AppImage or DEB, with a manually updated portable tar.gz fallback; macOS is planned, and browser access remains open.
Is ALTARA still in beta?
Yes. ALTARA is in open beta, so the app is usable while still getting fixes, polish, and new community features.
Who is ALTARA for?
ALTARA is built for friend groups, gaming groups, and small communities that want voice, chat, and simple tools without the noisy feed feeling.
