For people looking for privacy: Briar is where it's at. A bit clunky UI (e.g. inviting someone isn't easy) but otherwise really well built client, and top notch network protocol and cryptographic features.

- easrng 4y agoI've also heard good things about https://cwtch.im/ https://cwtch.im/
- h4waii 4y agoI hate to say it, but if the product/service name immediately evokes a "how do I pronounce this" feel, and actually has an entry in the FAQ about it, its facing an uphill battle with mass adoption.
- emptysongglass 4y agoI want to like Briar and Cwtch but neither of them have iOS clients which really breaks the whole friendly to people who use other platforms covenant. If a client doesn't have apps for both of the big mobile platforms I'd say it's very unfriendly because you by omission are creating exclusionary silos. There's Session, which is iOS and Android friendly and doesn't burn down your battery as messages are privately routed through zero-knowledge nodes: https://getsession.org https://getsession.org
