v0.1.0

The first release of REEF — a multi-server lobby client for Sharkord. One app for all your Sharkord servers. Servers stay stock; everything server-side ships as a drop-in plugin.

REEF is young and moving fast — expect rough edges, and please report them (the client has a built-in bug reporter when your server's REEF plugin enables it).

Highlights

Multi-server, natively

  • Server rail: connect to many Sharkord servers at once; reorder, rename, and recolor tiles
  • Quick switcher (Ctrl+P) across all connected servers
  • Unified notification inbox with Do-Not-Disturb and quiet hours
  • Saved messages across servers · stay in voice on one server while chatting on another

Voice

  • Push-to-talk and voice-activated input modes with adjustable sensitivity — on desktop, PTT works globally while you're in a game (with a clear privacy disclaimer; the OS key hook only runs while you're in voice with PTT selected)
  • Soundboard mixed into your outgoing mic
  • Switch screen-share source mid-share with no black gap for viewers
  • Noise suppression (RNNoise/DTLN), noise gate, and quality controls from upstream Sharkord

Quality of life

  • GIF picker (searches proxied by the server plugin — API keys never reach clients)
  • Custom status text, visible to other REEF users on the server
  • Accent color + text scale, custom title bar, tray + launch-at-login, unread badges

For server admins — the REEF companion plugin (reef-plugin-0.2.1.zip)

  • One plugin, one switchboard: every server-touching REEF feature has its own on/off toggle in Settings → Plugins
  • GIF search proxy (Klipy or Giphy, your key), custom status, bug-report emails via your mail relay
  • Runs on a stock Sharkord server and is harmless to non-REEF clients

Downloads

You want Grab
Windows app REEF-Setup-0.1.0.exe (auto-updates) or REEF-Portable-0.1.0.exe
Android preview REEF-Android-0.1.0-WIP.apk
Your server to support REEF extras reef-plugin-0.2.1.zip → unzip into <data-dir>/plugins/reef, enable in Settings → Plugins

Windows: builds are unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn on first run — More info → Run anyway.

⚠️ Android is a work in progress. The APK is a debug-signed preview: expect rough edges, battery-hungry background behavior, and missing features (no push notifications without server setup, no global PTT — that's desktop-only). Install by opening the APK on the phone and allowing installs from unknown sources. It's included so you can peek at where REEF mobile is heading, not as a daily driver.

Notes

  • The server is stock Sharkord — run it from upstream releases. REEF deliberately does not fork server internals.
  • macOS/Linux desktop builds aren't part of this release yet (nothing blocks them; they just haven't been tested).
