Fractal

Fractal is an open-source messaging application for the Matrix network. It is designed for the GNOME desktop and is written in Rust. The software belongs to the Communication category and runs on Linux. Its primary purpose is to support conversations and collaboration through Matrix.

The interface is optimized for large groups rather than only one-to-one communication. This makes Fractal relevant to communities and teams that need to coordinate in shared conversations. Free software projects are one example of the kind of group that may use it. Its open-source license allows the application to be used as an openly developed software project.

Fractal is distributed through MirrorNest as a direct mirror of the official build. MirrorNest stores that build on its own storage instead of presenting an unrelated repackaging. The mirrored files are scanned for malware before they are published. This gives Linux users a catalog route to the official Fractal build while keeping its platform and open-source classification clear.
