Like almost every client out there it has no support for e2ee. I was happy to find https://nheko-reborn.github.io (Qt based).



Off the top of my head, Matrix clients with full support for E2EE include:

* Element Web (via matrix-js-sdk)

* Element iOS (via matrix-ios-sdk)

* Element Android (via matrix-android-sdk2)

* ElementX iOS (via matrix-rust-sdk)

* Fluffychat (via Dart Matrix SDK)

* Fractal (via matrix-rust-sdk)

* Hydrogen (via hydrogen-sdk)

* Syphon (built into its Dart codebase)

* Thunderbird (via matrix-js-sdk)

* Cinny (via matrix-js-sdk)

* weechat-matrix (matrix-nio)

* weechat-matrix-rs (matrix-rust-sdk)

* nheko-reborn (mtxclient)

* mirage (matrix-nio)

* gomuks (gomautrix)

* ocrcc-chatbox (matrix-js-sdk)

...and a bunch of abandoned ones too, like Riot Android (matrix-android-sdk), Seaglass (matrix-ios-sdk) and Daydream (matrix-rust-sdk).

Meanwhile any Matrix client can speak E2EE if you connect it via the pantalaimon E2EE proxy (powered by matrix-nio).

In other words, the whole "almost every Matrix client out there has no support for E2EE" is really not true - there are loads of them, spanning many different platforms, built using different independent SDKs.


> * Fractal (via matrix-rust-sdk)

Not yet. The next major release of fractal will be based on matrix-rust-sdk (and presumably will have E2E encryption).
