Mattermost is an open-source, self-hostable online chat service with file sharing, search, and integrations. It is designed as an internal chat for organisations and companies, and mostly markets itself as an open-source alternative to Slack<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> and Microsoft Teams.

History

The code was originally proprietary, as Mattermost was used as an internal chat tool inside SpinPunch, a game developer studio, but was later open-sourced.<ref name=":0" /> The 1.0 was released on October 2, 2015.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The project is maintained and developed by Mattermost Inc. The company generates funds by selling support services and additional features that aren't in the open-source edition.

There are desktop clients for Windows, MacOS, and Linux and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

In the media, Mattermost is mostly regarded as an alternative to the more popular Slack.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It was also integrated into GitLab as "GitLab Mattermost",<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> although in 2017 GitLab acquired Gitter,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> another popular chat tool. In 2021 GitLab sold Gitter.
