Wire (wire.com) doesn't require phone numbers either. I've been using it for the last year or so to communicate with my family, and its usability for non-technical users is very good, including top notch audio and video.
It syncs across all my devices (iPhone, iPad and laptops, Mac and Linux), and I can quickly do full-text search over large amounts of data and docs we've exchanged over time.
It's full OSS, including the clients. I don't know why it's not more widely used.
- ObsoleteNerd 7y agoI’ve been using Wire for years and love it. It’s easily my favourite “secure” messenger to give to non techies. It’s as easy to use as Telegram and it “just works”.
- balladeer 7y agoI can tell you why I stopped using it. It was clear after a few months that features, layout, and UX wasn’t being developed keeping individual users in mind. Later the CEO stated that they are not at all their concerns. And compared to Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram their call quality was horrendous so not many of my contacts stayed.
