About Kex

Kex is an independent Windows desktop client developed by Krzywy. It is designed for people who prefer keyboard navigation and spoken feedback over switching between several large application windows.

How it works

Global shortcuts let you move between instances and buffers. Screen-reader speech announces the selected item and notifications. You can keep conversations open, change sounds, and use your own shortcut map. The user guide describes each supported instance and its default shortcuts.

Installation

Use a 64-bit Windows computer, a writable folder and an internet connection for online services. Extract the complete portable ZIP before starting Kex.exe. Keep its modules and supporting files together. Connect only accounts and servers you are allowed to use.

Modules and updates

Features are divided into modules so fixes can often be delivered without replacing the whole client. A core update may still be needed for shared functionality or compatibility. Kex checks signed updates for the installed client and compatible modules.

Public betas are for everyone; private betas are for approved installation IDs. The download page shows availability and the latest published public beta, starting with the 0.16 series. Public access does not add you to the private tester list.

External services

Kex does not supply Telegram accounts, TeamTalk servers, email accounts or television subscriptions. Google and Microsoft sign-in takes place through their authorization pages. OAuth verification, provider limits and organizational policy can restrict access. Kex is not endorsed by these providers.

Report a problem

Use Contact or the in-app contact action, normally Alt+Windows+F1. Include your Kex version, what you tried and what happened. Review logs before sending them; do not send passwords, login codes or account session files.
