## What it is

FluffyChat is a chat app for Matrix, the open messaging standard your Core's chat server uses. Where Element is built around teams, rooms and spaces, FluffyChat looks and feels like a phone messenger: a list of chats, bubbles, stickers and voice messages. It supports end-to-end encryption and works with any Matrix server.

## Why it's here

- **A simpler Matrix client.** It's an easy way into Matrix for people who find Element busy.
- **Same account, same chats.** Sign in with your Core account and your rooms and messages are all there.

## On CoreDesktop

CoreDesktop installs FluffyChat as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid and sign in with your Matrix server's address and your account. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
