We're the pioneers of universal secure collaboration.

Universal means for everyone.

Through open source and the Matrix open standard for decentralised communication, we enable anyone to talk with everyone. No walled gardens, no vendor lock-in.

Secure means communication you can trust.

Only those in the conversation can see the conversation. Those in the conversation host the conversation, and keep the data. No service provider keeping tabs, no eavesdroppers, no data mining.

Collaboration means getting things done.

From arranging family holidays, to building an open source project or delivering complex projects at work - everything is quicker when people work well together.

Element is used by the French, German & US governments to collaborate securely.

Different to every other collaboration tool and messaging app.

We’ve created a unique system that combines true end-to-end encryption, cross-signed device verification, an open decentralised network and digital self-sovereignty. Each one of those things is complex; delivering all four is an absolute mindboggle.

But we’ve done it, and hidden all that complexity behind a beautifully clean and usable interface. We’re in our element developing it; we hope you’re in your element using it.
