ZENISO’S NEXUS

Your people.
Your network.
Your choice.

COMMUNICATION ON YOUR TERMS

A home for your community, wherever it connects.

Chat, voice and friends are at the heart of Nexus. Choose a managed platform, keep everything on your local network, or run your own server.

AT THE CENTER

Stay in the conversation.

One place for the people you talk to and the communities you build together.

01

Chat that stays familiar.

Community channels, friend conversations and direct messages share a consistent chat experience.

02

A place to talk.

Join voice channels to hang out, coordinate a session or work together. Relay support helps when a direct connection is unavailable.

03

Your people, in reach.

Friends, online presence and direct messages keep you connected beyond a single community.

THE NEXUS FAMILY

Choose where your community lives.

Three approaches to hosting. The right one depends on how much you want to manage and where you want to connect.

MANAGED

NEXUS

Sign in. Find your people.

The main platform is designed around a managed backend, so you can focus on your community instead of maintaining a server.

Where it connects
Over the internet
Who runs the infrastructure
ZENISOSOFTWORKS
Best fit
Communities that want a managed service
LOCAL & OFFLINE

LAN NEXUS

Your LAN. Your rules.

A standalone community app for your local network, with chat and voice that do not depend on an internet connection or a central account.

Where it connects
Inside your local network
Who runs the infrastructure
You, on your local network
Best fit
LAN parties, local groups and offline spaces
SELF-HOSTED

WAN NEXUS

Your server. More reach.

Host a dedicated community server on your own Windows machine. Bring people together over the internet with voice relay support.

Where it connects
Across the internet
Who runs the infrastructure
You, on your own hardware
Best fit
Communities that want control over hosting
WAN NEXUS dedicated server interface with community members, roles, channels and connection logs
SELF-HOSTING, IN VIEW

A dedicated space for your community.

The WAN server brings connection status, members, roles and channels together in one interface.

BEYOND CHAT & VOICE

More ways to be together.

TECH PREVIEW

NEXUS ZERO

Streaming, built from the ground up.

A native C++ streaming engine with a custom capture, encoding and transport pipeline. The design focuses on making the most of your hardware and network, without an artificial frame-rate ceiling.

Performance depends on the hardware, encoding settings and connection. Final capabilities are still being validated.

IN DEVELOPMENT

NEXUS BRIDGE

Bring the LAN closer.

A purpose-built tunnel for reaching your LAN NEXUS community from elsewhere. The idea is to keep the same channels, people and access rules without depending on a separate VPN provider.

In active development. Availability will be shared as the project progresses.

WHAT’S NEXT

Getting ready for the first release.

Nexus is being prepared for its first public release. Windows is the initial desktop focus; additional platforms will follow as they are validated.

Downloads, managed-platform pricing and final release details will be added here when available.

A FEW DETAILS

Good questions.

Which Nexus is right for me?

Choose the managed NEXUS platform if you prefer not to operate a server. LAN NEXUS is for local, offline communities. WAN NEXUS is for hosting an internet-connected community on your own hardware.

Does Nexus need an internet connection?

That depends on the edition. LAN NEXUS is designed to work entirely inside your local network. The managed platform and WAN NEXUS connect communities across the internet.

Will I need an account?

The managed platform uses an account. LAN NEXUS and WAN NEXUS use local identities, with admission controlled by the network founder rather than a central account service.

Can I download it now?

The first public release is still being prepared. Download links and release information will appear on this page when they are ready.

Which platforms are planned?

Windows is the initial desktop focus. Other platforms will follow as they are validated; their availability has not yet been announced.

Where does my community’s data live?

The hosting model determines that: local and self-hosted editions use infrastructure you control, while the managed platform uses infrastructure operated for the service.
