Other Clients

Mobile — iOS & Android

Element X
iOS Android Rust SDK Voice & Video

Fastest Matrix client. Native MatrixRTC calls and screenshare. Modern Rust encryption (Vodozemac). Spaces and Threads in active development.

FluffyChat
iOS Android Rust SDK Calls Experimental

Simple, cross-platform, beginner-friendly. Rust encryption (Vodozemac). Voice/video calls are experimental — call support depends on your homeserver.

Discord-like — Android, Windows & Linux

Commet
Android Windows Linux Beta Voice & Video

Closest Discord replacement. Multi-account, GIF search (privacy-respecting proxy), shared calendars and photo albums. No iOS or macOS yet.

Desktop — Windows, macOS & Linux

Element
Windows macOS Linux Web Voice, Video & Screenshare

Most feature-complete Matrix client. Every spec feature supported. Heavier on resources than alternatives.

Nheko
Windows macOS Linux Voice & Video

Native C++/Qt client. Lightweight alternative to Electron-based apps. Recommended for Linux/KDE users who want low resource usage.

Encryption note: Element X, FluffyChat, and Commet use Vodozemac — the Rust implementation of Matrix encryption. Element Web/Desktop and Cinny use matrix-js-sdk, which is undergoing a migration to the Rust SDK. Rust-based clients have a stronger cryptographic track record.
