System brief

What it does

Rift Chat puts Matrix rooms, direct conversations, attachments, media, bookmarks, and local search into a desktop interface. Version 2.1.1 is the current stable Windows x64 release, rebuilt in Rust and Tauri. The per-user installer uses the installed Microsoft WebView2 runtime, downloading it only when it is missing. Signed updates are delivered from boganpanda.com, with release notes and restart controls in the app.

Intended use

A practical desktop client for Matrix conversations, including encrypted rooms, without relying on a browser tab.
