About

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. Briar uses the Tor network to prevent eavesdroppers from learning which users are talking to each other. Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device. All communication between devices is encrypted end-to-end, protecting the content from eavesdropping or tampering.

About

Recline is a web-based social communication platform for people who want to create and participate in online communities. Members can join community servers, organize discussions into channels, exchange direct messages, share files, and use voice and video rooms. Community operators can configure roles, permissions, moderation controls, and server settings. The service also includes user profiles, account-security features, and Sparks, a virtual rewards system used within Recline communities. Recline is aimed at friend groups, gaming communities, creators, and other online groups looking for a shared space for conversation and live interaction. Its browser-based service provides community communication tools, while a Windows desktop client is being tested as a limited preview rather than offered as a generally available release.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Private - Secure - Easy to use - Super easy to migrate to I love the security aspect of Recline. They focus on keeping data private and secure.

Cons

  • It's still lacking in many features. I understand it is still in early access, but I'd love to see more features around customization and potentially enterprise features.
