About Briar

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.

    "Most powerful messenger on earth"

    Posted 2021-09-13

    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.

    Overall: This is better than best. Calling support at least voice calling feature should be included. And UI design should be more polished.
