# Use Waku in Your Application

Interested in using Waku to add private, secure, censorship-free communication
to your Application?
Here are your options:

## Desktop & Server Applications

### JSON RPC API

You can run your own nwaku (or go-waku) node alongside your application
and access the Waku network using the available JSON RPC API.
