Briar

The Briar app is worth download for those who need to communicate easily and securely – media personalities, journalists, members of various movements and activists. Also, this application can be installed in case of emergency and lack of mobile communication.

Regular instant messengers and communication applications are tied to a central server. In this case, the data is synchronized only between mobile devices.

In the absence of mobile communication, but with the Internet, communication is possible using Wi-Fi or Tor, but if there is no access to them, synchronization takes place via Bluetooth.

The main advantages of the application:

• no ads;
• reliability – data from the application is not tracked and remains only in your phone;
• convenience – in addition to private messages, you can also create a general chat or blog there;
• built-in connection to the Tor network.

The Briar application was developed by a small non-profit group whose members had the goal of providing everyone with a secure connection without surveillance, as well as a fallback connection in the absence of a mobile network.
