   What is a good Matrix client for iOS and for macOS? Not looking for something that runs in a browser but a dedicated app, even if it’s an Electron app.

   Please reply with the name or the App Store link or website for a macOS app.

     @mattl I like using Element, and it's cross platform:

     @vegantacos yeah the cross platform thing can be done well or poorly. I think this is the one I already tried and didn’t get along with.

     How are you?

     @mattl I'm happy with Cinny on desktop (Electron) and FluffyChat on the phone. I'm not an Apple person though but I could imagine they work fine on those OS as well.

     @mattl Yeah, it's not a perfect Matrix client, but it's a good fit for me right now. I was considering making a Matrix client with Flutter, but I have other ideas for next projects.

     As for how I'm doing, things would be nice if it was easier to find a catchy business name unused by other software developers. I've been at this for days, but might be stuck with creating a meaningless name like "yesubrady" or "desert mouse", because many people don't like mice. (They're adorable though). 😄

     @vegantacos Are you naming it with a view to buying a .com domain name and setting up a company?

     Follow up question.

     Once I have a Matrix client... what next?

     There are different servers: Do I need to pick one? Are people using matrix.org?
