So I’m using a lot the option to chat myself in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. But I don’t wanna put my trust in them.

I tried about using NextCloud (I have an instance) Talk, but I’m not satisfied: the app won’t load if I have no internet connection.

What I am actually looking for:

  • something with cross client sync that sync is ideally on my server
  • simple to use like sending message to self but with good search options, maybe even tagging
  • ability to send images, files etc
  • caches offline on clients

thanks.

P.S. wasn’t really sure what tag to use here. Help seems like I’d use when I have an issue with an existing project. but I’m looking for a new one so I used this.

thanks!

I use SimpleX for this matter. Each device get its own account, and I just create a group named “self” with all of them. You can selfhost the server too if you prefer that route.

Oops, added a suggestion of Simplex before I saw your answer. +1, I guess 🙂
