twayblade_

A native desktop client for Matrix.

In early development.

Twayblade in dark mode, showing friends arranging a Saturday walk and coffee in their General room.

A little less browser. A little more chat.

Twayblade is a small, open-source Matrix client written in Rust, with a native GPUI interface. Rooms, friends and conversations, without a browser runtime.

End-to-end encrypted messages, device verification and recovery.
Spaces, direct messages, threads, replies and reactions.
Images, files, message search and native notifications.
Bubbles, IRC and Minimal chat styles. Light and dark appearances.

More of an IRC person?

The same demo conversation in Twayblade's compact IRC chat style, with timestamps and names beside messages. — Same app, same demo conversation. IRC style, light mode.
