gomuks is a Matrix client written in Go, built on mautrix-go, with a backend that can be embedded as an SDK or run as a remote server similar to a bouncer. It ships multiple frontends, including a mature web app (with Electron desktop and Android wrappers) and an experimental terminal UI.

Use cases

• chat on Matrix from a terminal
• use Matrix with a lightweight desktop client
• run a Matrix client backend as a bouncer server
• embed a Matrix client backend in a custom frontend
• use Matrix on Android with a native wrapper

When to choose

• you want a Go-based Matrix client with web or terminal frontends
• you need a bouncer-style Matrix backend you can connect to remotely
• you want to build a custom Matrix frontend on an existing backend SDK

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured graphical Matrix client like Element
• you want a polished terminal client today, since gomuks terminal is still experimental
• you need a non-Matrix chat protocol
