Teams looking for secure messaging and file sharing

About Keybase

End-to-end encryption for things that matter. Keybase is secure messaging and file-sharing. We use public key cryptography to ensure your messages stay private. Even we can’t read your chats. Keybase works for families, roommates, clubs, and groups of friends, too. Keybase connects to public identities, too. You can connect with communities from Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere. Don’t live dangerously when it comes to documents. Keybase can store your group’s photos, videos, and documents with end-to-end encryption. You can set a timer on your most sensitive messages.

    "Interesting premise, lack of recent updates is disappointing"

    4 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-11-10

    Pros: Having a place to securely store notes, files, code, and cryptocurrency without worrying about remembering passwords is super useful. The chat function also provides a similar level of security to e.g. Signal or WhatsApp, but with a much better user experience when switching devices, etc.

    Cons: The app hasn't been updated much ever since Zoom bought out Keybase. Features still work, but nothing's gotten better in the past year or so. There isn't even a native M1 build.

    Overall: As someone passionate about security, Keybase is *almost* a great way to get a more cryptographically secure experience without sacrificing too much in the way of UX. But, without any new updates in quite some time, longstanding bugs are becoming more and more annoying.

    5 out of 5 stars Edited 2020-09-01
