Proudlock Technology LLC

Proudlock Technology LLC is an independent software publisher focused on decentralized communication tools, with its catalog centered on Echowire, its flagship product available through echowire.org. Echowire is a self-hosted, federated chat platform designed for organizations, communities, and teams that want full control over their communication infrastructure rather than relying on centralized, vendor-operated services. Because it is self-hosted, administrators retain ownership of their data, manage their own servers, and define their own access and retention policies, making the platform suitable for privacy-conscious users, regulated environments, and groups with specific compliance needs. Its federated architecture allows independent servers to interconnect, so separate communities or organizations can communicate across instances while each maintains its own rules and autonomy, a model well suited to distributed networks, open communities, and multi-organization collaboration. The platform's feature set spans the typical categories of modern team communication software: text-based chat with threaded conversations for organized discussion, integrated voice and video for real-time meetings and calls, and scheduled events for coordinating community activities, meetings, or recurring gatherings. Typical use cases include internal team messaging for small businesses and nonprofits, community servers for hobbyist or interest-based groups, and private communication hubs for families, clubs, or projects that prefer not to depend on large commercial platforms. With a single, focused package in its catalog, Proudlock Technology LLC concentrates its development effort on one product rather than a broad portfolio, positioning Echowire as an all-in-one alternative in the team chat and community platform category for users who value data sovereignty, interoperability between servers, and the flexibility that self-hosting provides.
