About FluffyChat Matrix Messenger

The open-source, non-profit European alternative to big tech’s messaging and video-call monopoly. End-to-end encrypted, decentralized, and easy to use for everyone.

Messaging how it should be

Whether for your friends, your company or local community, FluffyChat supports a variety of features to cover all your daily needs.

Easy to use

Simply install, log in and start chatting. The intuitive user interface makes secure communication as easy as possible.

Secure

With olm/megolm end-to-end encryption, encrypted message backups and an automated key trust system, FluffyChat is among the most secure messengers available.

Decentral

Based on the open Matrix protocol we build a decentralized messaging network together, which no entity can control. Host your own chat server while remaining in contact with everyone.

Feature rich and reliable

From public chats with tens of thousands of participants and polls to custom stickers, spaces, rich moderation tools, and multi-device support, FluffyChat delivers a comprehensive communication suite.

Secure video calls

Direct calls and video conferences, fully secured with Matrix RTC-compatible encryption.

Not another walled garden

We do not build another walled garden! FluffyChat is fully compatible with any other Matrix client like Element, Nheko, Cinny or NeoChat. Learn more at matrix.org.

Made by volunteers

FluffyChat is a non-profit project based on open standards and driven entirely by volunteers. Infrastructure is funded by donations, and participation is open to everyone.
