Fractal

Chat on Matrix Source

Description

Fractal is a Matrix messaging app for GNOME written in Rust. Its interface is optimized for collaboration in large groups, such as free software projects, and will fit all screens, big or small.

Highlights:

  • Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to end-to-end encryption
  • Send rich formatted messages, files, or your current location
  • Reply to specific messages, react with emoji, mention users or rooms, edit or remove messages
  • View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation
  • See who has read messages, and who is typing
  • Log into multiple accounts at once (with Single-Sign On support)
