Way better than Element on mobile devices. The desktop experience is a bit barebones as it just looks like a WhatsApp Web clone there, but that's not what I'm using FluffyChat for. It's the best mobile client right now.

As of this writing the best Matrix client for Android that supports multiple accounts.

Fantastic app for communication, most feature-full Matrix Adnroid app. Very comfortable in using, even for my parents, they have not problem using Fluffychat. Besides this, it's libre software!

AI Slopfree Software Catalog

A more optimistic homage to the slopware catalog https://alternativeto.net/lists/44427/slopware/, this list is designed to showcase projects, both FOSS and proprietary, which reject contributions from Generative AI LLM slop machines. The most pessimistic thing about this list is how short it is and how so many commonly used software solutions and websites are not included. I have to give it up to the following sites for providing references: https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies There are a lot more projects on this list which I didn't include because they aren't on AlternativeTo (yet). I'll be adding more entries to this site (and removing those who fold to the AI overlords) on a regular basis. I'm including references, which are all first-hand declarations from the development teams for each entry to ensure items aren't included based on hearsay or conjecture. Updated 10-2-2026

My Alts For Big Name Companies

alternatives to big name Company's products. spread the word! Also check out these lists for weaning yourself off of these companies; https://alternativeto.net/lists/41294/degoogling-list/ https://alternativeto.net/lists/41294/degoogling-list/ https://alternativeto.net/lists/41298/alts-for-big-gaming/ https://alternativeto.net/lists/41819/alternative-to-Re-getting-Games-Again (I DONT PROMOTE STEALING GAMES, AND YOU BETTER NOT DO SO!!!!) FYI; Google who OWNS Android is trying to make Android NO LONGER OPEN SOURCE (which will BADLY HURT F-Droid) , click here to sign the petition to say "NO!" : https://keepandroidopen.org/ or if you are SICK of siphoning data to Google convert to either GrapheneOS (if you have the currently supported devices) or Mobile Linux distro such as these; .

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is FluffyChat?

FluffyChat is an open-source matrix messenger app for Ubuntu Touch, Android, and iOS. It's funded by donations and features an appealing design with various theme settings, including dark mode. The app is user-friendly, free, ad-free, and decentralized, allowing users to choose or host a server. It supports one-to-one and group chats with no restrictions on the number.

FluffyChat is compatible with other matrix messengers like Riot, Fractal, and Nekho. It offers features such as sending different types of messages, images, files, voice messages, location sharing, push notifications, Matrix Spaces and unlimited group chats. It also has public channels, group moderation, custom themes, and QR codes for Matrix IDs. The app supports end-to-end encryption, emoji verification, cross-signing, and more.
