About

An open network for secure, decentralized communication. Matrix is an open source project that publishes the Matrix open standard for secure, decentralized, real-time communication, and its Apache licensed reference implementations. Matrix gives you simple HTTP APIs and SDKs (iOS, Android, Web) to create chatrooms, direct chats and chat bots, complete with end-to-end encryption, file transfer, synchronized conversation history, formatted messages, read receipts and more. Matrix provides state-of-the-art end-to-end-encryption via the Olm and Megolm cryptographic ratchets. This ensures that only the intended recipients can ever decrypt your messages, while warning if any unexpected devices are added to the conversation. Matrix owes its name to its ability to bridge existing platforms into a global open matrix of communication. Bridges are core to Matrix and designed to be as easy to write as possible, with Matrix providing the highest common denominator language to link the networks.

About

Spokes is a complete self-hosted text, voice, and video chat platform for your family, friend group, or small team. A simple, private alternative to Discord and Slack with organized channels, low-latency voice/video rooms with noise cancellation, shared photo albums, a group calendar, and free native iOS & Android apps with encrypted push notifications. Everything runs on your hardware inside a single Docker container with no external database required. Every new server installation comes with a 2-month free trial of native mobile push notifications (no credit card required). After that, an optional Spokes Pass ($45/year per server) unlocks the mobile push notification relay for your entire server and directly funds continued development. Licenses are strictly per-server. There are no per-user fees and never will be.
