## What is MattCha for Mattermost?

MattCha is a fast, native Mattermost client for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Keep up with your team's channels, threads and direct messages in an app that feels at home on every Apple device.

WHY MATTCHA

• Threads that keep up: follow every reply without losing your place
• Code that reads like code: syntax-highlighted code blocks, tables, checklists and Markdown
• Reply with your voice: record and send a voice message in seconds
• Find anything: search messages across every channel
• Easy on the eyes, with a carefully tuned dark mode

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
• Sign in with username and password (including MFA) or a personal access token
• Public and private channels, direct messages and group messages
• Send, edit, delete and reply to messages, and add emoji reactions
• Preview, share and save attachments
• Unread badges, favorites and mark as read
• Shortcuts actions to set, check and clear your status
• On Mac: stays connected in the background, with an optional menu bar item and Open at Login

YOUR SERVER, YOUR DATA
MattCha connects directly to the Mattermost server you choose. It does not provide a server, create accounts or host workspace data. Your account, messages, files, permissions and retention rules stay under the control of your server.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.17 — 2026-09-30

• New: code blocks are syntax-highlighted, with automatic language detection.
• Checklists, quotes and bullet lists render cleanly, and thread, search and saved-message titles no longer show Markdown symbols.
• Opening a channel is calmer: no brief flash of the previous channel and no rows jumping while messages are marked read.
• More reliable unread counts: fixed a badge that kept flipping between two numbers and a badge that never cleared after your own posts.
• Channels set to mark unread for mentions only no longer show every message as unread.
• "Load older messages" only appears when there really are older messages.
• Long messages expand reliably with Show More, and a long press anywhere on a message shows its actions.
• Attachment previews show the real file name.
• iPad: the voice recorder fits its sheet, the sidebar closes after you pick a channel on smaller iPads, and file previews show a single Share button.
• VoiceOver reads message text instead of Markdown symbols.

### 1.1.16 — 2026-09-26

• New Shortcuts actions: set your status with an end time and emoji, get your current status, and clear your custom status.
• Faster channel switching and timeline rendering.
• Unread counts and badges stay accurate after the app returns from the background.
• Very long messages show a preview; open them with Show More.
• Self-hosted servers on your local network can now use http://.
• Fixed composer focus issues and stale presence in direct message headers.

Thanks to Oleksii and Paul for your feedback on local servers and status controls.

### 1.1.15 — 2026-09-22

• Improved channel loading when opening conversations.
• Fixed duplicate sidebar sections that could appear after creating channels or refreshing the channel list.
• Simplified the sidebar by removing redundant favorite stars.

### 1.1.14 — 2026-09-17

Fixed a two-factor authentication issue that prevented signing in to some Mattermost servers. Thanks to Chris for helping identify and resolve it!

### 1.1.13 — 2026-09-09

This update makes drafts safer, unread messages easier to find, and conversations more reliable.

• See who’s typing in a thread directly beneath its message, and tap the indicator to open the conversation.
• Improved recovery of unsent drafts and attachments after restarting the app, working offline, or switching conversations.
• Sending or editing a message no longer clears newer text you’ve started writing.
• Fixed cases where the Unread view could miss older messages or threads. Read indicators also update more reliably while viewing replies or opening links.
• Improved reaction syncing and fixed a crash when displaying reactions.
• Smoother conversation loading and typing animations.
• Additional fixes for search results, avatar updates, live messages, and account switching.
