Talon for Urbit
Fast native Urbit chat
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Talon is a fast, native chat client for Urbit. Sign in with your ship and get the full daily-use chat loop: direct messages, group channels, threads, and reactions, with your messages going straight between your device and your own ship.
Your ship is your server. Talon connects your device directly to the Urbit ship you control, so your messages, your contacts, and your history stay yours. No accounts to create, no middlemen, no analytics, no tracking.

OPTIONAL AI
Nothing goes to any AI service until your ship has Armillary credit. Armillary is an app on your own ship that gets model access for you, so there are no keys to copy in, and Talon asks for model providers that keep nothing.
Armillary credit is a separate, optional paid service, sold by the vendor ship you choose. Talon's developer runs the default one. That vendor sees your ship's name, your balance and your purchases, and in proxy mode your AI requests pass through its ship on the way to the model provider.
Talon requires an Urbit ship to sign in. New to Urbit? Learn more and get a ship at urbit.org.
New: Orrery, an optional personal assistant that runs on your ship.
