This project, wx2matrix_bridge, lets you send and receive WeChat messages from within a Matrix chat room instead of using the official WeChat app on your phone. The creator built it specifically because they wanted to stop using WeChat's mobile app, and it currently supports forwarding text, voice messages, and images between the two platforms. At a high level, the bridge connects your WeChat account to a private Matrix chat room. Once it is running, you type simple text commands directly into the Matrix room to control WeChat. For example, to send a message to a specific contact, you would type their name or WeChat ID followed by <- and then your message. You can also pull your full friends list, check the connection status, and reply quickly to the last person who messaged you. The tool acts as a middleman, taking your typed commands in Matrix and translating them into actions on your WeChat account. This would appeal to someone who already uses Matrix for chat but needs to stay reachable on WeChat for work or personal reasons. Instead of keeping the WeChat app installed on their phone, they can manage those conversations from their preferred desktop or mobile Matrix client. It is essentially a convenience tool for people who want to consolidate their messaging into one app. There are some important limitations to keep in mind. The README notes that the underlying Matrix software does not yet support end-to-end encryption, so messages are not as secure as they could be. The creator recommends using an HTTPS server to partially address this. Additionally, anyone who joins your Matrix room can send commands to your WeChat, so the room must stay completely private. The project also lacks built-in background process management, meaning you need basic technical knowledge to keep it running continuously on a server.
