  • TorChat

    Decentralized anonymous instant messenger on top of Tor Hidden Services

  • TorChat

  • TextSecure

    A private messenger for Android.

  • I am not listing Signal directly here, since they would most likely fall under the proposed legislation. Though that shouldn't stop you from using Signal today, the only messenger, that actually respects your privacy by not collecting data. (And I could see them adopting a P2P infrastructure, if this law ever came into force.)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    Discontinued qTox is a chat, voice, video, and file transfer IM client using the encrypted peer-to-peer Tox protocol.

  • Tox (anonymous too, if routed through Tor) [clients like qTox might not be the "sexiest", but they are small and can be used almost anywhere]

  • sydent

    Sydent: Reference Matrix Identity Server

  • Matrix (where you can run your own server; Matrix uses an encryption protocol based on the industry standard Signal Protocol)
