Matterhorn is a feature-rich client for the Mattermost chat system.
The application aims to provide much of the functionality available in the Mattermost web client while offering an efficient keyboard-driven interface. It supports multiple teams and provides extensive facilities for reading, writing and managing conversations.
Users can post, edit, reply to and delete messages, participate in threaded discussions, upload and download attachments and add emoji reactions. Matterhorn renders Markdown and can apply syntax highlighting to fenced code blocks, while integration with an external editor is available for composing messages.
The application also provides extensive configuration options covering key bindings, colour themes, notifications and other interface behaviour.
This is free and open source software.
