Talk to everyone through the open global Matrix network, protected by proper end-to-end encryption. Element is a messenger that gives you the privacy you expect from a conversation in your own home, but with everyone across the globe.

Secure messenger

Conversations stay private with default end-to-end encryption and you control your data.

Voice and video

Unlimited 1:1 and group voice and video calls.

Secure communication

Unlimited end-to-end-encrypted messages and connections, internally and externally.

Collaboration tools

Improve team productivity with our add-ons bridges, bots and widgets.

Universal means it's for everyone

You shouldn't have to switch apps just because you're talking to a different friend. Element works with all Matrix-based apps and bridges into proprietary messengers.

You have control. You own your data

No third party access, no data mining and no eavesdropping. Because no one wants to see a thousand pet insurance adverts just because they said they might get a dog.

Slick, fast and simple to use

So easy and natural that it's a pleasure to use. Light, clean design. Fast, powerful and flexible. From first time users to power users on Android, iOS, desktop or web.

A part of the Matrix ecosystem

Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralised communication, connecting 28M+ users over 60K+ deployments. Governed by The Matrix.org Foundation, the Matrix protocol is an open standard with open source implementations, supporting a vibrant developer ecosystem. Element was founded by the team behind Matrix as a way to bring it to the mainstream.
