Most of Vommet's code is written with the help of an LLM. Commet doesn't accept LLM contributions, and we respect that: nothing from this fork is ever sent upstream. Please report Vommet bugs on our tracker, never on Commet's. "Vommet" is a codename and will change before 1.0.
Bring your stickers with you
Moving from Telegram or Signal shouldn't mean leaving your sticker collection behind.
Telegram sticker import
Paste a t.me/addstickers/… link, check the preview, and import the whole pack in one click. Animated Telegram stickers are converted to animated WebP so they play in every Matrix client.
Signal packs work too. Requests go through our own proxy, so your client never talks to Telegram or Signal directly.
Packs can go into your personal pack or into sticker rooms: private rooms that hold packs, which you can invite friends to so they get the stickers too.
What's different
Everything Commet does, plus these. Most are in tester builds now; the full list is in VOMMET_CHANGES.md.
Voice messages
Hold the mic to record, release to send, slide left to cancel. Received voice messages play with a waveform.
Picture mosaics
Several pictures posted together show as one Telegram-style grid instead of a wall of images.
Room banners
Ordinary rooms get banners too, not just spaces.
Tidier spaces
Search when adding existing rooms to a space, and remove a room from a space with a right-click.
Copy a selection
On desktop, copy just the part of a message you selected.
Our own infrastructure
GIF search and sticker import use our proxy, not Commet's servers. Android notifications use UnifiedPush, no Firebase.
Coming next
- Voice isolation on par with Discord: noise suppression, desktop first.
- Screen share with sound on Linux and Windows.
- Voice calls in ordinary text rooms, like Discord.
- Sliding sync for faster startup on big accounts.
- Easier installs: a Flatpak repository with updates, and Windows builds.
Works well with the Nether voice bridges, which connect Discord voice channels to Matrix calls.
Download
Vommet is in early testing. Builds are pre-releases: expect rough edges, and please report what breaks.
Windows & others
Not yet. Until then, Commet has builds for every platform.
Each release lists SHA-256 checksums next to the files.
Support Commet
