About Syphon

Syphon is a privacy focused, end-to-end encryption capable matrix client aiming to feel comfortable and easy to use.

That means:
- no analytics, tracking, or telemetry
- end-to-end encryption for direct and group chats
- no third party APIs (firebase storage, facebook sdk, etc)
- opt-in only for all signs of presence (typing bubbles, read receipts, etc)
- and much more

E2EE is working for direct chats and group chats, but until we have a third party security audit, we cannot recommend using Syphon where proven and independently verified security is required.

We’re hoping that you can see the vision of the app! Want to help out or send us feedback? Feel free to email us at hello@syphon.org
