Sideband is a privacy-focused, peer-to-peer mesh messaging protocol and platform that allows users to communicate directly over local networks or the internet without servers. It emphasizes metadata resistance and secure message delivery, working effectively in offline, low-bandwidth, or disaster recovery scenarios. Built-in Rust, Sideband supports encrypted group messaging, file transfers, and network self-discovery. It is ideal for use in community networks, crisis response, and decentralized communications infrastructure.

...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. ...

DiscordChatExporter is a cross-platform utility that allows users to export Discord chat histories into structured files for archival, analysis, or backup purposes. The tool connects to Discord accounts and retrieves message history from servers, channels, or direct messages, then converts the data into formats such as HTML or JSON. It is designed to preserve message structure, timestamps, attachments, and formatting so exported conversations remain easy to navigate and review. The project...

...The app supports encrypted one-on-one and group chats, voice messages, file and image sharing, and threaded conversations, all delivered over a decentralized onion network designed to conceal metadata such as sender identity, message timing, and network path. On iOS, Session integrates with Apple’s notification and background execution frameworks so that messages arrive reliably while preserving privacy protections, and it supports Face ID/Touch ID unlock to guard access to local message storage. Its interface follows iOS conventions for navigation, attachments, and user interaction, making secure messaging feel natural to Apple users while maintaining rigorous cryptographic standards.

...Its codebase is public to ensure transparency and auditability for a security-focused community willing to inspect how message metadata and delivery mechanisms are implemented.

...Developed by the Signal Foundation, it enables private messaging, voice, and video calls, without storing user data. Signal uses the Signal Protocol for encryption and does not collect metadata, making it one of the most privacy-focused communication platforms available.

Berty is an open, secure, offline-first, peer-to-peer and zero trust messaging app. Berty is an encrypted and offline peer-to-peer messenger with no central server. Connect with or without an internet connection, message for free, and avoid surveillance and censorship. Berty is fresh off the development line and hasn’t been audited yet. Please keep this in mind when exchanging data. In some countries, even a lol or a like can get you sent to jail. Berty is end-to-end encrypted - not even our...

Petoron P2P Messenger (P-P2P-M) Architecture: Pure P2P - no servers, no databases Key storage: Keys generated in memory, never stored, erased after use Metadata: Only IP and port exist during the session - everything else is encrypted & obfuscated Encryption: PQS v1.2 - PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200k), BLAKE2s-MAC, custom stream cipher + fake padding Authentication: BLAKE2s-MAC (16 bytes) - instant failure on any data change Packet obfuscation: --stealth mode - padding, hidden structures Connection: Direct peer-to-peer only Anonymity: No accounts, logins, or phone numbers Third-party access: Impossible without physical access to both peers during session History: No storage — all in RAM, wiped on close Message size: Limited only by RAM & MTU — no artificial limits External dependencies: None DPI/blocking resistance: Harder to detect, can be masked Autonomy: Fully offline until peers connect 26.01.26 Add pqs_chat_tor.py github.com/01alekseev/Petoron-P2P-Messenger
