Session Android is the official mobile client for Session, a privacy-first messaging protocol that enables secure, anonymous messaging without requiring phone numbers, email addresses, or centralized user accounts. Built natively for Android, the app lets users send and receive end-to-end encrypted text messages, voice notes, images, and attachments in both one-on-one and group chats, all while routing data through a decentralized onion-routing network designed to protect not just message content but also metadata like sender ID, timing, and network location. The Android client integrates seamlessly with Android’s notification system and background services so that you can stay connected without exposing your identity or compromising privacy, and it supports features such as message reactions, search within chats, profile and contact management, and local message storage encrypted at rest.

Session Desktop is an open-source, privacy-focused messaging application that brings secure, decentralized communication to desktop environments such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing users with encrypted text, media, and group chats without requiring phone numbers or email addresses. Built on the Session protocol and the Loki network, it routes messages through a distributed onion-routing network that hides metadata like sender, timing, and location so that conversations are resistant to surveillance and correlation attacks. The desktop client pairs seamlessly with Session mobile apps but can also be used independently to communicate with Session contacts in a familiar desktop interface that supports a full keyboard, global notifications, drag-and-drop media sharing, and local file access. ...

Toxic is a Tox protocol-based command-line messenger for Linux, offering fully encrypted, decentralized, and serverless instant messaging. It includes features such as text messaging, file transfer, and audio calls—all without requiring user accounts or central servers. Toxic is designed for power users who prefer a minimalist interface, operating entirely within a terminal while delivering strong privacy through the Tox peer-to-peer protocol.

...We can't read your messages or listen to your calls, and no one else can either. Privacy isn’t an optional mode, it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time. Share text, voice messages, photos, videos, GIFs and files for free. Signal uses your phone's data connection so you can avoid SMS and MMS fees. Make crystal-clear voice and video calls to people who live across town, or across the ocean, with no long-distance charges. Add a new layer of expression to your conversations with encrypted stickers. ...

...The encryption uses AES-256 twice so it is harder to crack than the industry standard pure AES 256bit implementation (theoretical key size is 512 bit). The software writes encrypted data in ASCII text format which can be cut'n'pasted to messaging apps or to emails and back to Inner Circle when decrypting data. IMPORTANT: The software requires new OpenJDK 16 (Not Oracle's J2RE 1.8) to run. Install, for example, AdoptOpenJDK for Windows. NOTE: By using encryption twice the implementation is (in theory) vulnerable to Meet-In-The-Middle attack reducing key size to 256bit but the attack still requires 2^256 bytes of memory making it impossible in practice.
