About

Silence (formerly SMSSecure) is a full replacement for the default text messaging application: all messages are encrypted locally and messages to other Silence users are encrypted over the air. Silence works like any other SMS application. There’s nothing to sign up for and no new service your friends need to join. Silence communicates using encrypted SMS messages. No servers or internet connection required. Silence provides end-to-end encryption for your messages using the painstakingly engineered Signal encryption protocol. All messages are encrypted locally, so if your phone is lost or stolen, your messages are protected.

About

The first messenger without user IDs. Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. Many users asked: if SimpleX has no user identifiers, how can it know where to deliver messages? To deliver mesages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers. You define which server(s) to use to receive the messages, your contacts — the servers you use to send the messages to them. Every conversation is likely to use two different servers. This design prevents leaking any users' metadata on the application level. To further improve privacy and protect your IP address you can connect to messaging servers via Tor. Only client devices store user profiles, contacts and groups; the messages are sent with 2-layer e2e encryption.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

  • Security. Anonymous presence. Encryption. Availability for Windows 64, Android, iOS, and even the terminal.

Cons

  • Not too easy the first time. It may be a little hard to start with it when one is used to playing with another messaging app.
