Product Information

Description

Briar is a decentralized messaging application that prioritizes security and privacy through its peer-to-peer architecture, eliminating reliance on central servers. It enables direct communication between devices via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Tor, ensuring messages remain private and resistant to surveillance. A standout feature is its offline capability, allowing users to exchange messages without internet access by creating local mesh networks, making it invaluable in areas with connectivity issues or during network disruptions. The app supports encrypted one-on-one chats, group discussions, blogs, and forums, all stored locally on devices to enhance data control. Briar is particularly useful for journalists, activists, and anyone needing secure communication in sensitive environments, offering robust protection against censorship and eavesdropping.
