https://github.com/KDE/neochat # NeoChat NeoChat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant messaging. It is a fork of Spectral, using KDE frameworks, most notably Kirigami, KConfig and KI18n. ## Get it A stable release [is available](https://apps.kde.org/en/neochat) for download for Linux distributions. Along with the stable release, a Flatpak version is available for the nightly version: ``` flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.neochat ``` A nightly build is also available for Android in the [KDE nightly F-Droid repo](https://community.kde.org/Android/FDroid) and can also directly be downloaded from the [binary factory]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Android/job/NeoChat_Nightly_android-arm6... ). Nightly builds for [Windows]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_win64/), [MacOS]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_macos/) and [AppImages]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_appimage/) can also be downloaded from the [binary factory]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/search/?q=neochat). ## Features * Sending messages * Sending files from clipboard and filesystem * Reply to message (right-click on a message to access menu) * Start a private chat (but not encrypted) * Show notifications, for the moment there is only a global switch to disable it. We plan to implement the configuration part of the specification soon. * Autocompletion of usernames in chat * Emoji picker * Basic room setting page * Send and accept invitations * /rainbow <message> (very important) * /me <message> NeoChat is still missing a few features to become a full-featured Matrix client (most notably encryption support and video chat support). We welcome contributions in this direction. ## Contact You can reach the maintainers at #neochat:kde.org, if you are already on Matrix.
