  Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger

  

  That said, another option you might look into is Session. It started as a fork of Signal but they've modified and developed the protocol to work better over their own in-house onion routing network called Lokinet, and have also been independently audited. It doesn't require your phone number, instead it generates your keys on your device and then your "ID" is just your public key that you can share, but it's not related to your real identity in any way. If your "ID" gets compromised or somebody gets hold of it that you don't want to have it, you can just make a new one on your same device with no consequences. They are currently working on voice and video chat, and have shared videos of progress they've made on that front, but you can imagine how hard it must be to route voice/video calls over an onion network without having debilitating amounts of latency, so as of right now, there is no voice or video calling, just voice recordings you can make and send as attachments.
