This is the second pre-release build of Robrix. This release is still in a pre-alpha state, as many features are still a work-in-progress, and there are some known problems.
That being said, the fundamental Matrix functionality is now working and should be sufficient for basic daily usage. See the feature status tracker/checklist in the README for more details.

If you do experience odd behavior or encounter a particularly nasty bug, please feel free to file an issue describing the problem. However, before filing an issue, kindly check the list of known issues first to help avoid redundant issues.

We invite you to check back here within the next month or so for a more updated alpha release, as we have recently had more contributors join the project, and expect things to progress more quickly from here on out.


Release artifacts

This release contains pre-built binaries and app packages for the following platforms:

  • macOS (Apple Silicon only: M1 and up)
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2-macOS-aarch64.dmg: a disk image that can be used to install Robrix easily.
  • Windows 10 and 11 (x86_64 only)
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2-windows-x64-setup.exe: a Windows setup executable that will install Robrix for you.
  • Linux (x86_64 only; aarch64 is supported but not packaged yet)
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2-linux-amd64.deb: a Debian package that can be installed on any Debian-like Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu):
      sudo apt install ./robrix-pre-alpha-2-linux-amd64.deb  ## the ./ part is required
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2-x86_64.AppImage: an AppImage package that can simply be downloaded, set to be executable, and then ran:
      chmod +x robrix-pre-alpha-2-x86_64.AppImage
      ./robrix-pre-alpha-2-x86_64.AppImage
    • PKGBUILD and robrix-pre-alpha-2-x86_64.tar.gz: a pacman package that can be installed on ArchLinux.
      sudo pacman -U robrix-pre-alpha-2-x86_64.tar.gz
  • Android, aarch64 only
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2.apk: an APK file that can be installed/sideloaded onto your Android device.
      • Note: the installed Robrix application doesn't have the proper icon; our packaging infra will fix this in the near future.
  • iOS
    • robrix-pre-alpha-2-iOS-sim.zip: a zipped App Bundle that can be run on an iOS simulator.
      • Depending on your xCode/simulator setup, you may need to build this from source instead.
    • Note: we are still waiting for our developer account to be approved by Apple, so we cannot yet provision and distribute apps through the App Store or via TestFlight. We expect this to be resolved soon.

See the main README for more information about downloading, installing, and running app packages for Robrix. You can also find information about building and running Robrix from source in the README.
