Tesseract is a full-featured desktop Matrix client for Linux, Windows and macOS, built on the Matrix Rust SDK. The networking core is Rust; each platform gets a genuinely native UI — Win32 on Windows, AppKit on macOS, and Qt6 or GTK4 on Linux — so it looks and feels right everywhere, no web view in sight.
Win32, macOS AppKit, and Linux Qt6 & GTK4 — one shared C++ toolkit, native everywhere.
