## History[edit]

Back in 2017, Chanty was founded by Dmytro Okunyev [[2]] [[3]]for the internal use of his team. The team needed a collaboration tool that would not limit their message history, allow group audio and video calls and have its own built-in task manager to help manage the team’s projects.

In 2017, Dmytro and his team started working on a communication app with unlimited message history [[4]] [[5]].

Soon they realized they could make some money from it, so they launched a beta and got quite a few customers in a short time.

In early 2019 the team launched one-on-one and group audio calls as well as one-on-one video calls [[6]].

Chanty team has also launched Integrations with Asana, Gitlab, GitHub, Bitbucket, Mailchimp, Trello, Gdrive, Dropbox, Onedrive [[7]].

In November 2020 Chanty was translated into Spanish, Turkish, German, and Russian.
