Gōsuto is a lightweight terminal client for the Matrix communication protocol.
It supports encrypted rooms and direct messages, spaces, room management, Markdown-formatted messages and voice calls without relying on a browser engine or heavyweight runtime.
The keyboard-driven interface offers Vim-style Normal, Insert and Command modes. A which-key popup displays available actions, while optional cyberpunk effects include matrix rain, glitches and text-reveal animations.
This is free and open source software.
