OMEMO has replaced OTR. Conversations.im supports OMEMO.

By definition there's no "default" app because no single entity controls the whole ecosystem nor has the authority to declare that one is above another :) That aside, there is an official compliance suite, though, that at least one (often more) apps per major platform passes.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in.
