About

The open-source, non-profit European alternative to big tech’s messaging and video-call monopoly. End-to-end encrypted, decentralized, and easy to use for everyone. Messaging how it should be Whether for your friends, your company or local community, FluffyChat supports a variety of features to cover all your daily needs. Easy to use Simply install, log in and start chatting. The intuitive user interface makes secure communication as easy as possible. Secure With olm/megolm end-to-end encryption, encrypted message backups and an automated key trust system, FluffyChat is among the most secure messengers available. Decentral Based on the open Matrix protocol we build a decentralized messaging network together, which no entity can control. Host your own chat server while remaining in contact with everyone. Feature rich and reliable From public chats with tens of thousands of participants and polls to custom stickers, spaces, rich moderation tools, and multi-device support, FluffyChat delivers a comprehensive communication suite. Secure video calls Direct calls and video conferences, fully secured with Matrix RTC-compatible encryption. Not another walled garden We do not build another walled garden! FluffyChat is fully compatible with any other Matrix client like Element, Nheko, Cinny or NeoChat. Learn more at matrix.org. Made by volunteers FluffyChat is a non-profit project based on open standards and driven entirely by volunteers. Infrastructure is funded by donations, and participation is open to everyone.
