Alpha APK

<b>Note: This version is going to be discontinued and replaced with</b> <a href="https://f-droid.org/packages/im.vector.app/">Element</a>.

Riot gathers all your conversations and app integrations into one single app.

Built around group chatrooms, Riot lets you share messages, images, videos and
files - interact with your tools and access all your different communities under
one roof. One single identity and place for all your teams: no need to switch
accounts, work and chat with people from different organisations in public or
private rooms: from professional projects to school trips, Riot will become the
center of all your discussions!

Now with end-to-end encryption! You can view and verify your various devices in
the user settings page.

Features include:

* Instantly share messages, images, videos and files of any kind within groups of any size
* Voice and video 1-1 and conference calling via WebRTC
* End-to-end encryption using <a href="https://matrix.org/git/olm">Olm</a>
* See who's reading your messages with read receipts
* Communicate with users anywhere in the Matrix.org ecosystem - not just Riot users!
* Discover and invite users by email address
* Participate in guest-accessible public rooms
* Highly scalable - supports hundreds of rooms and thousands of users
* Fully synchronised message history across multiple devices and browsers
* Finely configurable notification settings, synchronised over all devices
* Infinite searchable chat history
* Permalinks to messages
* Full message search
* Excellent support for all Android device sizes and orientations

Note that the F-Droid release does not use GCM for notifications - instead it
will keep syncing in the background. If you find that the ongoing background
sync is using too much battery, you can add a delay or change the timeout of the
sync or even disable background sync completely, in the settings page.

For developers:

* Riot is a Matrix client - built on the Matrix.org open standard and ecosystem, providing interoperability with all other Matrix compatible apps, servers and integrations
* Entirely open sourced under the permissive Apache License - get the code from <a href="https://github.com/element-hq/riot-android">https://github.com/element-hq/riot-android</a>. Pull requests welcome!
* Trivially extensible via the open Matrix Client-Server API (<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec">https://matrix.org/docs/spec</a>)
* Run your own server! You can use the default matrix.org server or run your own Matrix home server (e.g. <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/synapse.html">https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/synapse.html</a>.

Coming soon:

* Add your own integrations, bridges and bots!
* Email notifications of missed messages and invites
* Screen sharing
* Login as multiple users at the same time

Discover truly efficient and open collaboration with Riot!

<b>AntiFeatures:</b>

* NonFreeNet - Currently the integration server is not configurable in this client and linked to the non-free New Vector implementation. Free alternatives exists but supporting them in Riot Android is still being worked on.
