Powerful and flexible

Citadel is easy, versatile, and powerful, thanks to its exclusive "rooms" based architecture. No other platform seamlessly combines so many different features using this familiar and consistent metaphor.

Packed with features

  • Email, calendar, and contacts
  • Forums, mailing lists, and instant messaging
  • Wiki, blog, and RSS aggregation
  • Multi‑domain support with a powerful web interface
  • Written in C - lean, fast, and memory safe

True open source

Citadel is 100% open source software using the GNU General Public License. It's not a crippled, cut-down version of some expensive "enterprise" edition. The software you download here is the very best available, and it's all free software.
There are no social media links here. Enjoy a friendly Citadel community instead. Or go outside.
