The open-source, non-profit European alternative to big tech’s messaging and vid
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.

How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
Data safety
Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
Files are scanned for malware on every update.
The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
