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.
