About this app

SchildiChat is a client for the matrix protocol, based on the Element app.
The matrix protocol is a decentralized approach to modern messaging, allowing for end-to-end encryption, shared message history across multiple devices, and more.
By building on Element, SchildiChat inherits all features of one of the most complete and feature-rich Matrix-clients currently available.
On top, SchildiChat adds a different design and various extra tweaks, customization options, and additional community features.

SchildiChat is open source: https://github.com/SchildiChat/SchildiChat-android

Ratings and reviews

Best matrix client I used so far. For those who self hose, the official element would need to connect to element API before you can enter the uri, it's slow and blocked in some country. For this app, it goes straight letting you use your own server, simple and fast. Fully featured and everything just works.

Best client I've tried so far. Will get 5 stars when they support multiple accounts. I also wouldn't mind seeing a seperate button to take photo or video instead of a popup menu, maybe add the camera to the chat bar and keep the video in the attachments section

overall it's a great client for matrix especially for self hosted servers. the one issue i have with it is the call ring volume is linked to the media volume instead of the ring volume on the device. basically in case media was muted and ring volume was high, the device won't ring.
