Briar Description

Briar is a secure messaging application tailored for activists, journalists, and anyone seeking a reliable and straightforward method of communication. Unlike conventional messaging platforms, Briar operates without a central server, facilitating direct synchronization of messages between users' devices. In scenarios where internet connectivity is compromised, Briar can connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, ensuring that communication persists even during emergencies. When the internet is available, Briar utilizes the Tor network to safeguard users and their connections from any form of surveillance. This network not only obscures the identities of users but also keeps their interactions private from prying eyes. Moreover, each user’s contact list is encrypted and maintained solely on their device, adding another layer of security. The application ensures that all exchanges between devices are encrypted end-to-end, effectively shielding the content from unauthorized access or interference. In this way, Briar is not just a messaging app, but a vital tool for maintaining privacy in sensitive communications.

    Most powerful messenger on earth

    Date: Sep 13 2021

    Summary: This is better than best. Calling support at least voice calling feature should be included. And UI design should be more polished.

    Positive: Encryption policy and offgrid compatibility are the things I like most. Although this one isn't that much popular I think it is better than signal or any other high ranked applications.

    Negative: I didn't get any such things that should be considered as cons. But this application should be more user friendly and UI should be more attractive and easy. Calling support should be added.
