Schildichat is the only client I can use on my phone that implements both spaces and threads and doesn't have a memory leak.

@thejevans umm element leaks?

It does for me. And it has for over a year. I have to reset the cache every day or it slows to an unusable crawl. The web client works fine, though

Edit: github issue: https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/issues/6617

The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.
