I’d like to try Matrix, but I still don’t know of a good client. I don’t want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried nheko
, but I didn’t like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option).
So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.
if you like CLI gomuks is the best.
I think OP is asking for a desktop client and cinny is web based?

- Device rename from privacy screen
- Device rename randomizer
Hey just fyi, I did a lot of work with matrix for like two seasons from server setup, daily use, etc and just keep in mind the product still feels WIP at times.
Edit: element is great! Sorry - Many clients also mentioned already in comments. I just wanted to contribute this because I think while there are many good clients, the client itself wasn’t much of a problem so much as the servers I encountered and federation at times. Definitely pick a good server.
+1 for Cinny. Worth trying is also https://fluffychat.im
WeeChat for the CLI with a Matrix plugin works too.
Element can be used with Firefox if you want. Electron isn’t mandatory. If you’re on Linux, my impression is that Fractal is pretty solid.
