Sailtrix - Matrix client supporting end-to-end encryption

Applications
#1

I’ve just released Sailtrix, an encrypted messaging app using the Matrix protocol. The following features are supported:

  • Logging in with username and password
  • Reading the past messages in a room (currently limited to loading 30 at a time
  • Messages with basic formatting can be read (bold, italic, etc)
  • Sending messages
  • Sending messages in reply
  • Editing messages
  • Deleting messages
  • Starting direct messages
  • Ignoring and unignoring users
  • Basic end-to-end encryption support (ALPHA STATE - please do not use when security is important, it is more than a proof of concept but not in a beta state yet)

You can download it from OpenRepos: Sailtrix | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System

Is it possible to submit it to the official store?

#4

I will submit to the official store after the 1.1 release which will have many new features and more stable encryption. Work is already being done - features include encrypted pictures, joining rooms, and numerous UI improvements. Check out the gitlab activity for what has already been done.

Looking forward to it.
Decided that Matrix is the way to go for me as a mainstream IM (good old jabber+irc are still there, too).

The latest version only loads non-encrypted rooms history. E2E rooms (started from Element) are empty.
Is it how it’s supposed to be for now?

#12

Yes. I believe the design of the encryption prevents you from reading old messages without using key sharing, which I have not implemented yet.

Amazing, thank you.

Use element currently via aptoide, but looking forward to a native client.

What currently are you missing in Sailtrix that you have in Element?

#15

For me it is mainly sorting rooms (it could use a tab design like in other SFOS apps), names in DMs, accessing encrypted rooms from Element and maybe VOIP (although I don’t use that very often). But apart from this, your app is amazing!!!

#16

wait what’s wrong with encryption?

#17

He probably talks about key sharing.

Hi, I have installed the application but when I try to login it returns the error “Homeserver is not valid”
In the homerserver field I try kde.modular.im and https://kde.modular.im but with the same result.
In android with element app, login is fine.
Can you help me?
thanks

Please launch from the command line with /usr/bin/sailjail -p harbour-sailtrix.desktop /usr/bin/harbour-sailtrix, attempt to log in, and show me the output from the command line.

If sailjail is not available on your system, please launch with /usr/bin/harbour-sailtrix
