Matrix Family
for Windows

The same encrypted messenger you use at web.matrix.family — packaged as a native x64 app. One build runs on Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11. Download the installer once; every later release arrives through the in-app updater.

Install

One download, then it stays current

1

Download

NSIS MatrixFamily_latest_x64.exe for a normal PC. MSI if your organisation deploys via Group Policy.

2

Run the installer

Same package on Windows 10 and Windows 11. No separate SKU per edition.

3

Leave it running

On launch the app reads latest.json on this host and installs the signed payload when a newer build is published. You do not download the installer again.

Current build

0.0.72

The NSIS/MSI files are the first install. The updater payload is what a running app downloads. Stable names always point at the current files so bookmarks and the apps hub keep working.
