Nheko is a native desktop client for the Matrix protocol built with Qt and C++20, aiming to feel like a mainstream chat app rather than an IRC client. It supports E2E encryption, VoIP calls, rooms, media sharing, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Use cases
- chat on matrix from my desktop
- native matrix client that feels like telegram
- encrypted messaging app for linux
- make voice and video calls over matrix
- lightweight alternative to element desktop
When to choose
- you want a native, fast Matrix client on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you prefer a mainstream-chat-app feel over an IRC-style interface
- you need E2E encryption and VoIP calls in a desktop Matrix client
When to avoid
- you need a fully feature-complete client - some chat features are still missing
- you require an audited E2E encryption implementation for high-security use
- you need a web or mobile Matrix client
