    Testing build. Expect rough edges. Vommet is an LLM-assisted fork of Commet. Please report problems on this repo's issue tracker, never on Commet's.

    Built from the testing branch at commit 8b6878c. This is the first build since Vommet started following Commet's latest code automatically. The login screen shows the build label testing.133 · 8b6878c.

    New since testing-2026-10-05b

    • Dock and taskbar icon now shows for the Flatpak. The app used to identify itself under a development ID, so docks couldn't match its window to its icon.
    • Simpler login. On servers with single sign-on, like nether.im, the login screen shows just "Continue with …". "Sign in with a password instead" reveals the username and password fields, for bot accounts. (#44)
    • Hold-to-record voice messages keep working when the composer re-lays out. (#15)
    • Default push gateway is UnifiedPush's own instead of Commet's.
    • The latest changes from Commet itself.

    Everything from the earlier tester builds is still included: sticker import and sticker rooms (#19, #2), voice messages (#15), picture mosaics, room banners, space tools, copy selection, and the fork defaults.

    Install

    Linux (Flatpak, x86_64)

    flatpak install --user ./vommet-testing-x86_64.flatpak
    flatpak run im.nether.chat
    

    Installing over the previous build updates it. If the dock icon still doesn't appear, log out and back in once so the dock re-reads its app list.

    Android (arm64): download vommet-testing-arm64.apk and open it. It installs as an update.

    Known limits

    • Smoke-tested only. The Flatpak installs, its libraries resolve, it registers as im.nether.chat, and it reaches the login screen.
    • GIF search returns an error until the proxy gets a Klipy key (#12).

    Testing build. Expect rough edges. Vommet is an LLM-assisted fork of Commet. Please report problems on this repo's issue tracker, never on Commet's.

    Built from the testing branch at commit 190631b. Settings › About and the login screen now show a build label such as testing.76 · 190631b, so you can tell builds apart.

    New since the first tester build

    • Sticker import is easy to find. There is an import button next to the Emoji/Sticker/Gif tabs in the message composer. Settings › Emoticons has labelled "Import pack" and "New pack" buttons that stay available after your first pack. (#19)
    • Choose where imported stickers go: a new pack, or "Add to" any existing pack you can edit. (#19)
    • Sticker rooms for more than one pack. A Matrix account holds one personal pack. More packs live in private sticker rooms that Vommet keeps out of your room list. They are listed under Settings › Account › Emoticons, with an Invite button for sharing packs with friends. (#19)
    • Voice messages. Hold the mic button to record, release to send, slide left to cancel. Tap it for hands-free recording. Received voice messages play with a waveform. (#15)
    • New defaults: media previews in public rooms are on, and encrypted Element Call is on.
    • No more donation prompts. They linked to Commet.

    Also included from the first build: Telegram sticker import (#2), picture mosaics (#11), room banners (#6), room search and removal for spaces (#10, #13), and desktop "Copy selection" (#9).

    Install

    Linux (Flatpak, x86_64)

    flatpak install --user ./vommet-testing-x86_64.flatpak
    flatpak run im.nether.chat
    

    Installing over the previous build updates it.

    Android (arm64): download vommet-testing-arm64.apk and open it. It installs as an update over the previous tester build.

    Known limits

    • Smoke-tested only. The Flatpak installs, all its libraries resolve and it reaches the login screen. Sticker rooms and voice messages have not yet been tried by a human.
    • GIF search returns an error until the proxy gets a Klipy key (#12).

    Testing build — expect rough edges. Vommet is an LLM-assisted fork of Commet; please report problems on this repo's issue tracker, never on Commet's.

    Built from the testing branch (44995c2): main plus everything waiting for hands-on testing.

    What's new compared with Commet

    • Telegram sticker and custom-emoji import (t.me/addstickers/… links; animated stickers converted by our proxy) — #2
    • Picture mosaics for several pictures posted together — #11
    • Banners for ordinary rooms — #6
    • Search when adding existing rooms to a space — #10; remove a room from a space (right-click it) — #13
    • "Copy selection" in the desktop message menu — #9

    Install

    Linux (Flatpak, x86_64)

    flatpak install --user ./vommet-testing-x86_64.flatpak
    flatpak run im.nether.chat
    

    The GNOME 51 runtime comes from Flathub automatically. To update, install the newer file the same way.

    Android (arm64) — download vommet-testing-arm64.apk and open it (allow installing from your browser/file manager). It installs next to Commet as "Vommet"; later builds install as updates.

    Known limits of this build

    • Smoke-tested only: the Flatpak installs, all libraries resolve and it reaches the login screen. Not yet tested by a human: login, calls, notifications, screen share.
    • Flatpak updates are manual (no repository yet).
    • Not built for Windows yet.
