Element is a new type of messenger and collaboration app that:
|
||
|
||
1. Puts you in control to preserve your privacy
|
||
2. Lets you communicate with anyone in the Matrix network, and even beyond by integrating with apps such as Slack
|
||
3. Protects you from advertising, datamining and walled gardens
|
||
4. Secures you through end-to-end encryption, with cross-signing to verify others
|
||
|
||
Element is completely different from other messaging and collaboration apps because it is decentralised and open source.
|
||
|
||
Element lets you self-host - or choose a host - so that you have privacy, ownership and control of your data and conversations. It gives you access to an open network; so you’re not just stuck speaking to other Element users only. And it is very secure.
|
||
|
||
Element is able to do all this because it operates on Matrix - the standard for open, decentralised communication.
|
||
|
||
Element puts you in control by letting you choose who hosts your conversations. From the Element app, you can choose to host in different ways:
|
||
|
||
1. Get a free account on the matrix.org public server hosted by the Matrix developers, or choose from thousands of public servers hosted by volunteers
|
||
2. Self-host your account by running a server on your own hardware
|
||
3. Sign up for an account on a custom server by simply subscribing to the Element Matrix Services hosting platform
|
||
|
||
<b>Why choose Element?</b>
|
||
|
||
<b>OWN YOUR DATA</b>: You decide where to keep your data and messages. You own it and control it, not some MEGACORP that mines your data or gives access to third parties.
|
||
|
||
<b>OPEN MESSAGING AND COLLABORATION</b>: You can chat with anyone else in the Matrix network, whether they’re using Element or another Matrix app, and even if they are using a different messaging system of the likes of Slack, IRC or XMPP.
|
||
|
||
<b>SUPER-SECURE</b>: Real end-to-end encryption (only those in the conversation can decrypt messages), and cross-signing to verify the devices of conversation participants.
|
||
|
||
<b>COMPLETE COMMUNICATION</b>: Messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, screen sharing and a whole bunch of integrations, bots and widgets. Build rooms, communities, stay in touch and get things done.
|
||
|
||
<b>EVERYWHERE YOU ARE</b>: Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronised message history across all your devices and on the web at https://app.element.io.
