🦁 Komai: a new native Matrix chat app you can get to love!

We’re excited to introduce Komai, a desktop-first, native Matrix chat app we’ve been building to scratch a long-standing itch. Forked from nheko and rebuilt around matrix-rust-sdk, it’s our humble attempt at making Matrix on the desktop a little better.

A few highlights:

Komai is Linux-only (x86_64) for now, available as AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, and on the Arch Linux AUR. It’s fully Free Software (GPL-3.0-or-later, no CLAs, no contributor gatekeeping), built openly with AI assistance, and good enough to ship. We’re already daily-driving it ourselves. 🦁

Telegram Bridge Update Notes The new Telegram bridge was rewritten from Python to Go, and the new version does not support all the features the same way the old implementation supported. Specifically, Relay mode now done using chat-based configuration, not via predefined bot token bot tokens for old relay mode were removed - you may need to revisit your bridge configuration once migration with that update is finished (we can’t do that from system side). Also we got some reports that in some cases you may need to relogin into the bridge

Notifications And Alerts We rebuilt the notification pipeline that powers Matrix DMs from the Scheduler bot, alert emails, and status indicators in the Ketesa dashboard. The focus was delivery reliability: messages that previously could be silently dropped now retry automatically, and the system handles temporary homeserver unavailability without losing notifications. A few specific improvements you may notice:

  • More reliable Matrix DMs: the bot now correctly reaches users on external homeservers and retries gracefully on failures.
  • More accurate alert emails: several edge cases in overdue detection have been fixed, reducing incorrect or duplicate notifications.
  • Overdue reminders now Cc all server admins: if your server has multiple admin emails registered, all of them receive the reminder, not just the primary billing address.

Ketesa dashboard improvements are already available in nightly builds and on the admin.etke.cc CDN instance. The rest of the changes roll out gradually over the next few days - if you notice anything off with notifications in the meantime, please let us know!

March 2026 Subscription Migration - Grace Period Has Ended Thank you to everyone who has already completed the migration! ❤️

For those who haven’t yet: the grace period we provided throughout March 2026 has now ended, and we have started decommissioning servers that have not been migrated. We want to be clear that we are doing this gradually, respecting each server’s original subscription due date - so you may still have time depending on when yours was due.

If you haven’t migrated yet, please don’t stress - just follow the step-by-step migration guide when you get a chance.

We’d love to keep working with you. If you have any questions or need a hand, we’re always here - just reach out!

Not included yet

  • The monthly bridges updates are not included, as the new versions were published a few hours ago and we didn’t finish adaptation and testing yet.
  • Ketesa got plenty of updates and improvements - starting from accessibility and up to new exclusive features for etke.cc customers. You can already try it on admin.etke.cc, but we need a bit more time for polishing.

🎉 Ketesa — Synapse Admin has a new name!

If you’ve been using the admin panel at https://matrix.your-server.com/admin or admin.etke.cc, you may have already noticed the fresh new look. Today we’re making it official:

Synapse Admin is now Ketesa! 🚀

What changes for you?

Nothing. The URL, login flow, and your configuration all stay exactly the same — Ketesa is a zero-configuration drop-in replacement. Just open the panel as you always have and enjoy the improvements!

Why a new name?

The project has grown a lot since we forked it in August 2024. What started as small improvements turned into:

  • 🎨 A full redesign with a cleaner, more consistent look
  • 📱 A fully responsive, mobile-friendly interface
  • 🌍 9 languages — every string translated, no stubs left behind
  • 🔐 Matrix Authentication Service support
  • ⚡ And plenty more — read the full story on our blog

The new name reflects how far the project has come. We’re proud of it, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! ❤️

New Component: WireGuard Easy Simple WireGuard VPN with nice admin UI, it supersedes Firezone we offered previously.

Existing customers can contact us (or use their Synapse Admin built-in Support system) to request it. The price is the same as it was for Firezone - +2 EUR/mo.

We use it internally for a while, but had to postpone public announcement due to recent announcements

Stability and Performance Improvements Synapse (Matrix backend) switched from TCP connection to unix sockets in communication with Postgres (database) and Valkey (Redis). While synthetic tests tell of about a 10x improvement in ideal conditions, in reality it works slightly better than before.

During the first phase of rollout, we identified a bug in environments without Valkey (Redis) because our test stand was designed to run all components at once. Unfortunately, a few customers were affected - we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience! The fix was already applied to all affected servers, and to prevent such issues in the future, we added another test stand with a basic set of components only.

Integrated Support System We had “(Existing customers only) Clicking the “Contact support” button in your Synapse Admin dashboard” for a while on the contacts page, but that “Contact support” button was a mere stub that led to… the same contacts page.

Starting from the last version of Synapse Admin, this button actually works and opens the integrated support system directly in your admin dashboard! Please note: you need to have Synapse Admin v0.11.4-etke54 to use it. If your Synapse Admin is older, you can apply the update by triggering the maintenance command in… your Synapse Admin ;)

Cinny In-App Calls Starting from v4.11.1, Cinny supports the experimental Matrix RTC stack. Currently, support is limited to “call rooms,” so there is no proper option to start an occasional call in 1:1 and group rooms yet, but it is a huge step forward for the Matrix ecosystem interoperability!
