So I’m using a lot the option to chat myself in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. But I don’t wanna put my trust in them.
I tried about using NextCloud (I have an instance) Talk, but I’m not satisfied: the app won’t load if I have no internet connection.
What I am actually looking for:
- something with cross client sync that sync is ideally on my server
- simple to use like sending message to self but with good search options, maybe even tagging
- ability to send images, files etc
- caches offline on clients
thanks.
P.S. wasn’t really sure what tag to use here. Help seems like I’d use when I have an issue with an existing project. but I’m looking for a new one so I used this.
thanks!

it can be, if the client downloads everything. I’m not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search
though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it’s not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support
