Work meetings
Recurring syncs with a schedule, an invite list and RSVPs. Co-hosts can share the load, and the waiting room keeps strangers out.
Group calls, without the noise
A cozy corner for your calls
Nook is a group calling app for people who want their calls to feel calm and focused: a small set of tools that work well, honest about what they do, and yours to run.
Nothing to install. Guests join from a link.
Made for
One room, many kinds of conversations
From a weekly team sync to an open room friends drop into on Friday evening.
Simulation calls
Fill a room with simulated participants to try layouts, rehearse a talk or show Nook to your team. Every one of them is labelled.
Friends & family
Audio-only calls when nobody wants to be on camera, and a link that works for guests without an account.
Open drop-in rooms
A room that is always there. People come and go, and everyone can see who’s inside before joining.
In the call
Everything a call needs, nothing it doesn’t
The call screen stays quiet until you need something. Then it’s one click away.
The call experience
Gallery and speaker views
See everyone in a tidy grid, or let the person talking take the stage. Switch any time.
You can tell who’s talking
A soft ring around the speaker’s tile and avatar, plus a mic indicator, so it never relies on color alone.
Host tools
Waiting room, lock the room, mute, remove, lower hands. Leave quietly, or end the call for everyone.
Honest connection states
Connection quality on every tile, and a clear “Reconnecting…” when the network drops, instead of a frozen picture.
Screen sharing
Share a window, a tab or your whole screen. Hosts can limit sharing to hosts only.
Chat, reactions, raised hands
Send a message, react without interrupting, or raise your hand and wait your turn.
Large rooms, real limits
Video for up to 16 people at once; everyone else appears as an avatar. This server allows up to 100 people per room.

How it works
From idea to call in four steps
New meeting
Give it a name, pick a type and a time. Recurring meetings are one setting away.
Invite with a link
Share the link or invite people by name. Rotate the link whenever you like; old links stop working.
Check camera & mic first
The pre-join screen shows your camera, a live mic level and your devices before anyone sees or hears you.
Run the room
Talk, share, chat. Hosts admit people, mute, remove and end the call when it’s done.
Under the hood
Self-hosting guide- Audio and video travel over WebRTC through a LiveKit media server.
- Accounts, meetings and chat live in your PostgreSQL database, or in an embedded one for small setups.
- Nook is self-hostable: run it on your own server with your own media server and bot.
Simulated participants
Rehearse with a full room before anyone shows up
Simulation rooms fill up with simulated participants who talk, react, raise hands and drop off, so you can test layouts and rehearse without gathering real people.
- Always labelled “Simulated”. They never count toward real capacity and never send real audio or video.
- Scenarios are deterministic: everyone watching the same simulation room sees the same people do the same things at the same moment.
- Up to 1,000 simulated participants per simulation meeting on this server.
24 simulated participants

Keyboard first
Every control is reachable with the keyboard, with a visible focus ring wherever you are.
Calm motion
Animations are short and purposeful, and they switch off when your device asks for reduced motion.
Screen-reader labels
Buttons, tiles and states have spoken labels, and nothing relies on color alone.
