Briar is a unique messaging app designed to protect your privacy and resist censorship. Unlike traditional chat apps that rely on central servers, Briar works peer-to-peer, meaning your messages are sent directly between devices. This setup makes it much harder for anyone to block, monitor, or control your communication.
One of Briar’s standout features is its flexibility in connecting users. It can communicate via Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi when the internet is unavailable. For wider reach, Briar uses the Tor network to anonymize and secure messages over the internet, ensuring your identity stays private.
With end-to-end encryption built-in, Briar keeps your conversations safe from eavesdroppers. Its design suits activists, journalists, or anyone needing secure messaging in difficult environments. Whether you’re offline or want to avoid centralized servers, Briar offers a reliable and private way to stay connected.
