This doesn’t seem to be open source

sadly no, but it is on all platforms and at least more secure than other closed source messenger

I’ve never understood why a messaging app would require blockchain to function. Storing all text and images on the blockchain seems redundant—especially when end-to-end encryption is already in place. With E2EE, no one can modify your messages without access to your private key.

It’s a shame they broke Perfect forward secrecy. To me, this is a very important feature to have in any E2EE system.

well briar does not have calling on desktop (in stable yet at least), also jami can do video and screen share

that’s good to know.

what most p2p chats lack is users.

Exactly. In order to attract more users to Jami, I really think the user interface should be improved.

session is not p2p.

you are right, Session is not purely peer-to-peer.

thanks!

thanks a lot!

Syncthing doesn’t only work on LAN, it can work through any network interface including Tailscale and yggdrasil, and has public relay nodes in case you don’t. I’m pretty sure you can also host your own relay nodes if you want to.

didn’t know this, thank you!

thanks!

Thanks, though Reticulum and Arweave can be a bit difficult to use, not sure what exe to download and what platforms are supported

thanks a lot!

any guide on how to start using it?

gnu jami

It seems great, but it seems to have fewer features than Briar and Session Messenger.

Yggsrqsil network I2P Freenet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N

have great potential but not user friendly at all at current stage. Or is there any user friendly software that uses this I didn’t find?

IPFS SSB /

Any guide on how to start using IPFS?

Can’t find anything on internet

Briar Project

great stuff already in the list

Tailscale

added to the list

Syncthing Localsend

I don’t think they are p2p since they can only work in LAN

croc looks very much alike magic-wormhole

Session Messenger is great, already added to the list

check Session Messenger, uses a tor style server network https://github.com/session-foundation/session-android

cool stuff, but without GUI many people might not willing to use it

thanks, also found this https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport

on ios it can be achieved with shorcuts, not sure about android

I found this too, but bidirectional support is important to me. I’m also not sure how it would work between Android and iOS.

thanks a lot

that seem nice
