SmallTalk is a minimal messenger using the Matrix protocol. It has a comparingly tiny app size and focuses on reliability and stability. Its feature set is rather bare-bones:

Login with Matrix ID/Password
Combined Room and DM interface
End to end encryption
Message bubbles, supporting text, replies and edits
Push notifications (DMs always notify, Rooms notify once)
Importing of E2E room keys from Element clients
UnifiedPush

More to come in the future.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Libraries:

Android PackageManager (Utility)
deals with various kinds of information related to the application packages that are currently installed on the device.
Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AndroidX Activity (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.
Android Jetpack Annotations (Utility)
library that contains the annotations for Android Jetpack.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Android Activity Saved State (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.

an image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
OkHttp (Utility)
