About Matrix Clients
This page is a directory of software clients that connect to Matrix, an open protocol for decentralised communications. Matrix is used through a client application, so this page helps readers find a client for a given device or preference. It lists five featured clients labelled as stable or beta, along with a longer list of other clients.
For each featured client, the page gives the supported platforms, a short description of its intended users, and a list of features such as end-to-end encryption, spaces, threads, and voice and video calls. The page states that end-to-end encryption covers media and calls only if supported. Other clients are listed with a maturity level, licence, and supported features, and the list can be filtered by platform, maturity, licence, and feature.
