Threema mentions (20)

• Most secure and private (trace resistant) messaging app in market?

  No one time $5. It's extremely secure. Here is the info https://threema.ch/en. Source: 10 months ago

• Secure app to communicate with.

  Threema also seems good and doesn’t use a number: https://threema.ch/en. Source: 12 months ago

• Indian government bans 14 messenger apps including Element, Briar and Threema

  14. Threema (encrypted chat app): https://threema.ch/en Source: https://qz.com/india-has-blocked-14-messenger-apps-on-security-fears-1850390425. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Skiff has severe focus on censorship and surveillance by Big Tech, and now the platform is announcing the launch of its end-to-end encrypted calendar mobile apps and a new, low-priced paid email plan with added storage and more.

  More seriously, I’m not an expert on this topic, but (from what I saw) Threema seems to be a good alternative. 🤷‍♂️. Source: about 1 year ago

• Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers

  PAID If you can spare $4 I think Threema is the way to go. It’s completely anonymous, no names, no numbers and it has a scannable QR code you can show other Threema users you meet if you don’t want to exchange personal information. Source: about 1 year ago

Briar mentions (120)

• FireChat was a tool for revolution. Then it disappeared

  Would Briar be a good alternative? https://briarproject.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  So it requires lan network? Can it work over bluetooth? Like Briar https://briarproject.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Anonymous option for communicating with sources

  Some mentioned that Berty is similar to the messenger app Briar - albeit Android exclusive for now. Source: 5 months ago

• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

• free tools to get internet

  Briar is a messenger that can use wifi, data, or bluetooth to send messages to anyone else with the app by automatically trying whichever connection works, this can be useful if only one of these options is functioning where you are. Source: 11 months ago
