# Komai

> A native desktop Matrix client for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Built in Rust, C++, and QML, no Electron. End-to-end encrypted, with room tabs, built-in voice and video, and 30+ languages. Free and open source under GPL-3.0-or-later.

Komai (こまい) began as a usability-focused fork of nheko, rebuilt on Rust and the matrix-rust-sdk. Fast, quiet, and built to live on your desktop instead of a browser tab. Made by the etke.cc team.
