macOSWindowsLinuxiOSAndroidWeb Open Source Communication

Element is the flagship client for the Matrix protocol — think Slack or Discord, but decentralized and end-to-end encrypted. You can self-host your own server or join existing ones, and federation means users on different servers can still talk. It's open-source, funded by the Matrix.org Foundation, and offers bridges to Slack, Telegram, Discord, and more. For teams that care about sovereignty and encryption, Element is the most mature option.
