A native macOS client for Matrix – an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Mactrix is built with Apple's SwiftUI framework to provide seamless native integration with macOS. It leverages the robust matrix-rust-sdk for stability and performance.

Feel free to join our Matrix room at #mactrix:qpqp.dk.

Mactrix is currently in early development, which means that distribution with auto-updates does not exist yet. However, the latest version is built automatically and can be downloaded here. Simply select the latest build and download Mactrix.app under Artifacts.

• macOS 15 or later
• Up-to-date Xcode installed

Xcode will automatically download all dependencies when building the project for the first time.

git clone https://github.com/viktorstrate/mactrix.git
cd mactrix
xed .

Then open the project in Xcode and build using Cmd+B.
