Important Notice
Element is a third-party application developed and maintained by Element Software Ltd. We are not the authors of the Element app, nor do we control its updates, features, or long-term maintenance. Any technical issues with the Element application itself should be directed to its developers.
That said, Element is a widely trusted, fully open-source Matrix client used by:
governments (including the German Armed Forces and French Government initiatives),
hospitals and regulated industries,
security-focused organizations,
open-source communities worldwide.
Because the code is openly available and continually audited, Element remains one of the most transparent and trusted Matrix clients in the world.
Our role is simply to show you how to use the Element app to connect to our private, non-federated Matrix server.
All privacy, encryption, and data-protection guarantees we provide apply to our server, not to the Element app itself.
Please be sure to download Element only from official app stores or from Element’s verified website.
So, Which Client Should I Use?
Want voice/video calls? → Use Element Classic (Web, iOS, Android)
Want newest features, no calls needed? → Use Element X (iOS, Android)
Maximum privacy for messaging only? → Use Element X (no calling infrastructure exposure)
