You don't need a phone number or a phone for https://haven.xx.network https://haven.xx.network and there are others.
If nothing is recommended, fine, but it's simplistic to not recommend or even consider the 3-4 apps that don't have those limitations. If you didn't have time to investigate or couldn't find anything else, say so.

Just because other apps don't have those limitations doesn't mean they also offer comparable cryptographic security. Haven appears to be a blockchain project, built with Next.js, and doesn't appear to implement any cryptography. If it isn't end-to-end encrypted, it's not in the same league.
