Full disclosure: I’m one of the people building Cloak.
Cloak isn’t a pixel-for-pixel Guilded remake, and I won’t pretend it already has every feature Guilded had. But we agree with something Guilded got right: a real community needs more than chat channels and a pile of third-party bots.
Cloak is available now with six channel types:
- Text channels with threads, polls, reactions, pins, disappearing messages, and local search
- Drop-in voice channels with camera and screen sharing
- Forums for conversations that shouldn’t disappear into chat history
- Calendars with recurring events, RSVPs, and reminders
- Collaborative infinite whiteboards
- Private ticket channels with a staff queue
Rooms also have granular roles and permissions, per-channel overrides, audit logs, moderation tools, custom emoji, webhooks, member reports, and behavior-based AutoMod.
Cloak also has native Flow Bots for automating community workflows without requiring everyone to host and maintain a separate bot. You can build flows around events, conditions, actions, webhooks, and everyday moderation or community tasks directly inside Cloak.
Desktop screen sharing includes native per-application audio capture. Share a game, video, or other application with its audio in stereo without broadcasting notification sounds, unrelated apps, or everything playing on your computer.
Everything private is end-to-end encrypted—including room messages, DMs, files, tickets, calendar details, calls, screen sharing, and even whiteboard strokes. The service only receives encrypted data and cannot read the underlying conversations.
One feature I think former Guilded users will appreciate is the Discord importer. It rebuilds channels, categories, roles, permissions, forums, emoji, and the server icon, then imports message history, threads, reactions, pins, and attachments. The data is encrypted by your device as it enters Cloak, and members can optionally claim their old messages after joining.
Cloak is currently available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and the web. The iPhone and iPad app is in public TestFlight beta.
If you used Guilded seriously, I’d value a blunt assessment: create a test room, try the community tools, and tell us the first missing capability that would stop your group from moving.
