#### Minimal, simple, multi-platform chat client for the Matrix protocol

* No data collection
* Completely free, no ads
* Does *not* support End-to-End Encryption
* Video-conferencing (uses Element Call -- <https://github.com/vector-im/element-call>)
* Desktop apps for Windows, MacOS, and Linux (amd64, arm64, armhf)
* Mobile apps for Android and iOS
* Push notifications on mobile devices with Firebase Cloud Messaging
* Unique top-down messaging feed
* Ideally used with a private Matrix homeserver -- <https://matrix.org/docs/guides/installing-synapse>
* Open source on github -- <https://github.com/alariej/quadrix>
* **Become a sponsor!** -- <https://github.com/sponsors/alariej>

Because this snap is released under *strict* confinement, it does not by default have access to the camera and microphone on the host device. In order to use Quadrix's video-conferencing function, users must therefore run the following commands in a terminal, once after installation:

* snap connect quadrix:audio-record :audio-record
* snap connect quadrix:camera :camera

Notes:

* The *arm64* and *armhf* builds have been tested on a Raspberry Pi 4B running Ubuntu 22.04 and Raspberry Pi OS.
* Snap package size: 71 MB
