The purpose is already said in the title: private chats for the family

How you don’t understand the use case of chatting with the family?

As many other chat apps out there, if you meant the “why this one and not X?” Well there are other acceptable options out there, the advantage of this one compared to WhatsApp, Telegram and co. Is that it doesn’t depend on phone numbers or any private data, getting started with the app is painless and smooth, no SMS verification no captcha solving or complex registration, just set your name and start chatting. It is decentralized and anonymous, while having a nice polished UI easy to use on the level of WhatsApp and Telegram, unlike most other alternatives out there

One special feature is the ability to use in-chat mini-apps that are completely “p2p e2ee” between chat members without depending on any server hosting it and working offline first, among such apps: collaborative editor pads, checklists/to-do lists, shopping lists, split bills with friends, chess and other mini-games etc

Another anonymous chat service without phone numbers: https://delta.chat/

Me with a confused face because don’t even have a TV and the webcam of my laptop is covered :v

No, it is not. 🚮

It is also possible to run GUI desktops in Termux since ages, for example take a look at:

AnLinux (Run Linux On Android Without Root Access) https://f-droid.org/packages/exa.lnx.a/

It was also possible to run a “full Debian” using PRoot etc

thanks, I think I know that one, but yeah as you said it is not a real security audit and the person itself said so

thanks!

could you provide some source/link to the SimpleX security audits? I would like to look into it, thanks in advance!

does Briar has security audits you could point to? thanks in advance

does that one has security audits? thanks in advance

You can always look at their history “complying” to government orders to hand over user data.

IIRC by US law they are not allowed to disclose requests from US gov itself

so live tests seem about as good as a security audit.

I would rather prefer real security audits

Sure thing! ArcaneChat is decentralized: https://github.com/ArcaneChat/server

Yes
