There are a bunch of very promising native desktop Matrix clients in progress:

https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko as a Qt telegram-like

https://github.com/quotient-im/Quaternion as a Qt xchat-like

https://github.com/manuroe/messagerie for instance is a SwiftUI client proof-of-concept that should work on macOS as well as iOS

None are as polished as Riot functionalitywise, but we will get there eventually - even more so if people contribute.

Spectral is quite usable as well in my experience (At-based) https://spectral.encom.eu.org/

Fractal is the GTK counterpart https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal

Thunderbird also has a Matrix back-end, though XUL is quite close to electron.

Lots of other clients https://matrix.org/clients/

I wonder if there's one for emacs.

That's what I'd like to see.
