One private platform for every group in your community.
Your rec league. Your downtown association. Your volunteer crew. Cohoria brings local groups into one encrypted place where every member is verified and every message stays private.
How Cohoria works
Create your Space
Set up a Space for your nonprofit, your triathlon club, your fire department, or your downtown association. Each Space has its own members, channels, and privacy settings.
Invite verified neighbors
Every member proves they're a real person before they can participate. No bots. No anonymous trolls. Just your actual community.
Communicate privately
Messages are encrypted on your device before they leave. We store scrambled data we cannot read.
You've been here before
A dozen apps, none of them connected.
Your volunteer group runs on email chains. Your rec league lives in GroupMe. Your downtown merchants coordinate on Facebook. And your emergency alerts go wherever the city decides to post them.
Cohoria puts all of that in one place, with one identity, under encryption you control.
With Cohoria
One account across every community group
Messages only you and your members can read
Votes with true ballot secrecy
Emergency alerts that reach verified people
Data you can export anytime, in standard formats
What makes Cohoria different
Every member is a real, verified person
Before anyone participates on Cohoria, they prove they're human. Liveness checks, not just email confirmations. When your neighbor posts, it's actually your neighbor.
Read our verification principlesYour data stays yours
Zero-knowledge encryption means we can't read your messages, your votes, or your files. Not “won't.” Can't. You hold the keys.
See how encryption worksNo surveillance, no tracking
No “last seen” indicators. No activity timelines. No mutual-friend graphs. We refuse to build the tools that let platforms watch you.
Leave anytime, take everything
Export all your data in standard formats whenever you want. No waiting period. No support ticket. Your information is never locked to our platform.
Subscription-supported, not surveillance-supported
No ads. No data harvesting. No selling your attention. Cohoria is funded by the communities it serves, not by watching them.
Built in Franklin, for Franklin (first)
Cohoria is built by Skiroco LLC at 99 East Main Street in Historic Franklin, Tennessee. We're starting here because we believe the best way to build community software is to be part of the community using it.
The Franklin pilot is how we prove this works. Real neighbors, real organizations, real feedback shaping every decision.
What we commit to
- Open about what we build and why
- Free civic tier for emergency alerts and public information
- Encryption auditable by independent researchers
- No advertising model, ever
- Your data portable in JSON and human-readable formats
Built for how communities actually work
Different groups need different things. Cohoria adapts to each with composable features and per-Space privacy controls.
Sports & Recreation
Youth leagues, triathlon clubs, YMCA groups, and rec centers. Schedule coordination, parent messaging with verified accounts, and youth-safety protections built in.
Nonprofits & Volunteers
Coordinate volunteers, manage community donations, and run fundraising campaigns. Private communications your members can trust.
Civic Services
Fire departments, first responders, and community policing. Emergency alerts that reach verified residents. Encrypted coordination when it matters most.
Downtown & Business
Merchant associations, business networking groups, and local business support. Stay connected with your commercial community without surveillance.
Neighborhoods & HOAs
Condo boards, block groups, and neighborhood watches. Encrypted board communications, ballot-secret votes, and a directory of your actual neighbors.
