Uniform Chat

A chat app for Matrix, the open chat protocol, for Windows and Linux: rooms, formatted messages, replies and reactions, files, invites, and end-to-end encryption with recovery and emoji verification. Messages you write are kept on the device until the server has them, so nothing is lost when the connection drops.

Note

The app is in early development.

• Installing: with apt on Debian and Ubuntu, on Windows and on other Linux systems.
• Getting started: sign in, and where your data is kept.
• Rooms: the room list, joining and creating rooms.
• Messages and files: writing, replies, reactions and files.
• Security: encryption, recovery key and verification.
• Notifications: when and how the app tells you about messages.
• Settings: what can be changed.
• Phones and narrow windows: the one-pane layout.

The same app runs on Android; see the Android guide. There is also a client for the text terminal; see its guide. To run a homeserver of your own, see the server guide.
