Briar Project Logo "Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance." Take a look at the Briar AMA (Ask Me Anything) for more information about how Briar works. Website: https://briarproject.org/ Twitter: BriarApp Download Briar: Google Play Store, F-Droid
