[Seeking] something to replace chat with self in WhatsApp/Telegram (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I'm using a lot the option to chat myself in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. But I don't wanna put my trust in them.

I tried about using NextCloud (I have an instance) Talk, but I'm not satisfied: the app won't load if I have no internet connection.

What I am actually looking for:

something with cross client sync that sync is ideally on my server
simple to use like sending message to self but with good search options, maybe even tagging
ability to send images, files etc
caches offline on clients

thanks.

P.S. wasn't really sure what tag to use here. Help seems like I'd use when I have an issue with an existing project. but I'm looking for a new one so I used this.

thanks!

Search is definitely lacking sadly. Unsure if there's even solid plans to make it much better either.

I don't do a lot of message searching so luckily for me, it's not something that bothers me too much.
