Matrix & Element

Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, real-time communication. Element is its flagship client. Together, they provide team messaging, voice calls, video conferencing, and file sharing, all end-to-end encrypted and self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

The sovereign alternative to Slack and Teams

Slack and Microsoft Teams store your messages on their servers, in their jurisdictions, under their terms. Matrix flips this model: you run your own server, you own your data, and you can federate with other Matrix servers when needed. It is the communication protocol adopted by the German military, the French government, and NATO, for good reason.

Features

Matrix supports channels, direct messages, threads, reactions, file sharing, voice and video calls, and bridges to other platforms. Element provides polished clients for desktop, web, and mobile. The experience is familiar to anyone who has used Slack or Teams, with the critical difference that everything runs on infrastructure you control.
