Cabal Desktop is a peer-to-peer, encrypted chat and file-sharing desktop application built on top of the Cabal protocol, designed for communities that value privacy, resilience, and decentralization. Unlike traditional messaging platforms, Cabal works offline-first and uses a distributed append-only log (similar to Secure Scuttlebutt) for data replication. All messages and content are shared directly between peers over local or internet connections without any central servers. It's ideal for activist groups, local networks, or anyone seeking a censorship-resistant communication tool with strong privacy guarantees.
