Chatify is a Laravel package that adds real-time chat to any Laravel application, including direct messages, group conversations, voice notes, attachments, typing indicators, and presence. It ships a bundled Vue 3 messenger UI served at /chatify plus a headless REST API for custom frontends, installable with a single Artisan command.
Use cases
- add real-time chat to a laravel app
- direct messaging between users
- group conversations with roles and permissions
- voice notes and file attachments in chat
- headless chat api for spa or mobile frontend
- typing indicators and read receipts
- self-hosted messenger for existing users table
When to choose
- you have a Laravel 11+ / PHP 8.2+ app and want chat with minimal setup
- you want a ready-made messenger UI plus a REST API you can build on
- you already use Pusher, Laravel Reverb, or a compatible WebSocket server
- you want everything self-hosted on your own servers and database
When to avoid
- your app is not built on Laravel or PHP
- you need chat without any WebSocket broadcasting infrastructure
- you need a fully managed/hosted chat service rather than a package
- you require v2 stability — it is currently in beta (v1 remains stable)
