Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or memory cards, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance./n/nThe app features private messages, groups and forums as well as blogs. Support for the Tor network is built into the app. Everything you do in Briar is only stored on your device unless you decide to share it with other users./n/nThere are no advertisements and no tracking. The source code of the app is completely open for anyone to inspect and has already been professionally audited. All releases of Briar are reproducible, making it possible to verify that the published source code exactly matches the app published here.

    Haven't tested extensively, but, for a high-grade software that it is, it's very easy to use. May everyone know that it uses some battery 'cause there is no central server, so, any communication demmands the parts to be connected at the exact same time to receive the messages (*no server* to store temporarily a message to be sent when the adressee is online). In necessary daily use without plenty of energy for the phone, parts may need to combine time frames to become online so to spare battery.

    Update: After using for another week, this has become a really big app for us. Our notes, discussions are happening here. Kids are announcing and planning here. Fun part is they write in a forum then go to the park and all joinies receive messages wothout internet just using bluetooth. I have tested this on bluetooth only mode as well. It works really well. I created private group and used multiple phones and it keeps history. Basically you can use it for distributed decentralised notes.

    Great messenger, but since 1.34 massive powerhog. Love the recently added image sending. The power consumption is a big deal for mě however

    i wish it had some way of voice/video calling. also it takes a long while for two phones got connected. yet better than no connection in absence of a safe and secure internet network . Iranians and north koreans seem to desperately need these kinda apps.

    Bull... horrible response. Not worth location permission. Super fail. Extra fail for your defensive answer. LOCATION Permission slipped into new update WITHOUT you describing it? SUPER FAIL! No thanks. Not worth the risk. Disgusting greed of data...shame on you... uninstalling ending support and spreading the word about abandoning this. Showed your colors . Bye. Also new version hardcrashes while sneaking data uploads in background. Shame on you. Fail. Shame. Disgusting.

    Free software (Open source) p2p, encrypted, offline messaging, and it does not require any identifiers. Best security messaging app all it needs is calls and video calls.
