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)
