Chat without
compromise.
Fray is a minimal, dark-only chat client built on the Matrix protocol. Private by default. Open source. Beautifully simple.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Core communication features, refined and focused. No bloat, no distractions.
DMs & Group Chat
Direct messages and group rooms with markdown formatting, reactions, threads, and media sharing.
Voice & Video Calls
Persistent group voice channels and 1:1 calls with WebRTC. Join, leave, mute, and deafen — no third-party services.
Encrypted by Default
End-to-end encryption on every conversation. Your messages are yours — not ours, not anyone's.
Decentralized
Built on Matrix — an open, federated protocol. Connect to any homeserver. No single point of failure or control.
Spaces
Organize rooms into Spaces — like servers or guilds. Structure your communities the way you want.
Cross-Platform
Web client available now. Native desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux coming soon via Tauri.
Built with intention.
Fray strips away the noise. No integrations panel, no widget drawers, no feature creep. Just the tools you actually use to communicate — text, voice, video — wrapped in a dark, focused interface that stays out of your way.
