Matrix Clients

If you wish to use your own client instead of riot.hope.net, we recommend [[1]]. It supports iOS, Android, and desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux).

You will need to set the client to use a custom homeserver of matrix.hope.net

How to create your HOPE Matrix account (slideshow):

  Direct your browser to https://riot.hope.net.

  Continue to log in.

• 
  We'll be generating a security key (or you can use a secure passphrase of your choice). This is sometimes required to verify other sessions (like if you log in from a different client or browser, so don't lose it!
