Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • TextSecure

    A private messenger for Android.

  • You have obviously the classic one like Signal, Silence etc

  • Synapse

    Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  • For decentralized app, you want to look into the matrix protocole, if I remember you can selfhost your own Synapse servers. It's end-to-end encrypted and can be bridgedto a lot of third party message app.

    Sydent: Reference Matrix Identity Server

  • For decentralized app, you want to look into the matrix protocole, if I remember you can selfhost your own Synapse servers. It's end-to-end encrypted and can be bridgedto a lot of third party message app.

  • jami-cli

    Jami client for terminal

  • For distributed app, you have Jami but I had some issue to get it working (it use P2P and DHT to communicate, using an IPFS node if I remember correctly). Session is also decentralized but use it's own in-house protocole instead of relying to existing technology. Briar look also good (work through Tor with no central servers) but lacked a lot of function last time I tried (it was just text message and that's all).

  • session-desktop

    Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger

  • For distributed app, you have Jami but I had some issue to get it working (it use P2P and DHT to communicate, using an IPFS node if I remember correctly).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
