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 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

0 crashes on Android or desktop for months, element was unusable. Good job guys!

This is a nice enhancement of the official Riot aka Element client. The changes make sense and look good. The performance is acceptable but nothing to get excited about. Definitely worth a try if you're a Matrix user.
