Matrix is a whole ecosystem of matrix-enabled clients, servers, gateways, application services, bots, etc.

The easiest way to get started is to pick a client that appeals and join #matrix:matrix.org:

Weechat/Matrix
If you like command line clients, try the Weechat plugin.

Riot
If you like glossy and feature-rich web clients, try Riot.

Riot iOS
You can also access Matrix on your iOS phone via Riot iOS.

Riot Android
Riot is also available on Android devices!

This page aims to collect all known Matrix projects - if you want to add a new one (or update an existing one), you can submit a PR to the matrix-doc project on github - the existing projects can be found here - or just let us know in the #matrix:matrix.org room.
