Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Xuruh, the developer of Jorvik.

Jorvik is a Discord-style chat app built on Matrix: servers, channels, voice, GIFs and end-to-end encrypted messaging, without being locked into one company's platform. It works with any Matrix homeserver, so you can sign in with an account you already have.

✨ What's new (1.0.24 – 1.0.27)

Sign in to any Matrix server

Mobile web layout with push notifications (works on iPhone via Add to Home Screen)

Long-press message menus and clearing mentions on phones

Notifications open the right chat and bring Jorvik back from the tray

Stickers, visible status messages, and clean copy/paste

Opt-in game activity ("Show the game I'm playing")

🔗 Try it

This community is the place for feedback, bug reports, feature ideas and screenshots. Native Android and iOS apps are on the roadmap!

Jorvik is a continuation of Heorot by Vitosicz. 💜
