Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining “mainstream” usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

Well the desktop gui is still in beta (literally less than a week old, iirc). So I wouldn’t expect it being on the website until it’s fully functional. (And it’s a GUI desktop client now)

Update: The frontpage now has a line that says “Get SimpleX desktop app”, above various mobile app stores links. Have to head to downloads page, still on the website itself, for desktop, mobile and terminal options.
