Try the demo

The public demo runs the latest Flock release. Use it to see how Flock feels before you install your own server.

Open it: app.flock.beer

Everything resets every day

Caution

All accounts, messages, groups and files on the demo are deleted every day at 04:30 UTC (08:00 in Tehran). Don’t keep anything there that you want to see again.

The demo server is updated to the newest release during the same nightly reset.

Getting started

1. Open app.flock.beer and choose Create an account.
2. Ask a friend to do the same, then search for each other’s username (3 characters or more) to start a chat.
3. Try a group, a voice or video call, or a meeting link that someone without an account can join.

Using the Android or Windows app

The apps ship without a server address. To use them with the demo:

1. Download the APK or the Windows installer from the latest release.

2. On the sign-in screen, enter this server address:

   https://api.flock.beer

You can change the server later in Settings → Server, for example when you install your own.

Limits of the demo

• Calls: the demo has no TURN relay, only public STUN. Calls between people on strict networks (some mobile carriers, offices) may not connect. Your own server can add a relay; see Calls across networks.
• Files: uploads are limited to 10 MB each.
• Admin settings can’t be changed by visitors.

When you are ready to run Flock for your own group, start with the Quick start.
