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

Way too slow loading images and video. Basically unusable

Very good alternative to Element. Especially the combined chat list view is the most desirable feature. Hope it will continue updating.

What's new

Update codebase to Element v1.6.12
