About Mages

Mages is an experimental Matrix chat client built with Compose Multiplatform

and a Rust core powered by matrix-rust-sdk. The flatpak currently shows 2 tray

icons and the tray menu doesn't follow the system theme (legacy lib).

Features include:

Room list with previews and unread counts

Room and thread timelines (text, media, polls)

End-to-end encryption via matrix-sdk

Spaces browser

Presence and privacy settings

Note: This is experimental software. Things may break, but encryption

is handled by the battle-tested matrix-rust-sdk.
