Element

Element is a secure and decentralized multiplatform messaging app based on the Matrix open-source framework. This app is ideal for creating group chats or for businesses, where you can create channels for different topics.

All content is end-to-end encrypted

Chats and calls on Element are fully end-to-end encrypted, so both the content of your messages and your video calls will be protected against external attacks, even on open networks. You can also share files and your screen with other users, as well as integrate project management tools.

Since Element is built on a decentralized network, users can host their own servers to ensure that their messages remain their property and that their content, even though it's already encrypted, is never hosted on external servers. There are even thousands of available servers hosted by volunteer users so that anyone can create their own online and self-managed messaging service.

You can talk to people from other apps that use Matrix

Through the Matrix network, users can not only contact other users within their same Element server, but they can also contact anyone who uses a Matrix-based messaging app.
