NeoChat is a Matrix client. It allows you to send text messages, videos and audio files to your family, colleagues and friends using the Matrix protocol.
Matrix is a decentralized communication protocol, putting the user back in control. Currently NeoChat implements a large part of the protocol with the exception of encrypted chats and video chat.
NeoChat works both on mobile and desktop while providing a consistent user experience.
This program utilizes libQuotient library and some C++ models from Quaternion.
This program is a fork of Spectral.
Features include:
- Sending messages.
- Sending files from clipboard and filesystem.
- Reply to message (right-click on a message to access menu).
- Start a private chat (but not encrypted).
- Show notifications, for the moment there is only a global switch to disable it.
- Autocompletion of usernames in chat.
- Emoji picker.
- Basic room setting page.
- Send and accept invitations.
- /rainbow (very important).
- /me.
- Basic image editor that lets you crop and rotate images before sending them. The image editor is provided by a small library called KQuickImageEditor.
- Internationalization support – translations for English, Ukrainian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, French, Dutch, Catalan (Valencian), Catalan, British English, Italian, Norwegian Nynorsk, and Slovenian.
