minimal and aesthetic, but honestly slow and buggy. only available for few platforms, desktop app is more buggy than the web version. does not support pinning messages. does not allow pasting images from clipboard, which is really inconvenient.

overall it seems to be still in development, but i love how it looks. really elegant

This is incredibly underrated. Cinny is quite fast, with a sleek UI, popular, and probably what most people are looking for when they go to Matrix for an alternative to Discord.

What is Cinny?

Imagine a Matrix client… Where you can enjoy the conversation using simple, elegant and secure interface protected by e2ee with the power of open source.

Features

You will have a pleasant experience because the overall look of Cinny is built using commonly used design patterns with micro enhancement.

  • Organized: Navigation is easy now because we organized DMs separate from channels.
  • No more clutter: You will see what's necessary to give you a better visual feedback.
  • Input that matters: An interface which adapts to your actions without making you feel uncomfortable.
  • Calm visual: Everything is properly aligned and formatted to give you a calm feeling.

Lot more to come

We are constantly working on Cinny to make it a better place. A place for communication like never seen before.

Cinny is built on top of Matrix — An open network for secure, decentralized communication. We have also made the source code of Cinny open to everyone, so you can enhance, modify and inspect it.
