Berty is end-to-end encrypted - not even our developers could access your data, let alone corporations or governments. Just like blockchain technologies, Berty doesn’t pass your data through central servers - the place where internet service providers, hackers, and governments can intercept your data. Instead, Berty’s network is distributed, based on P2P direct messaging. Berty couldn’t care less about who you are. You don’t need to provide your real name, an email, or a date of birth. You don’t even need a SIM card! -

On iOS, Element handles user identity, room membership, and end-to-end encryption with strong key management, allowing users to hold secure conversations that only intended participants can read, even across federated instances. The interface adheres to modern iOS paradigms, offering intuitive navigation, notifications, threaded replies, message reactions, customizable themes, and support for rich media rendering. -

Tinode Instant Messaging Server
Instant messaging platform
Instant messaging server. Backend in pure Go (license GPL 3.0), client-side binding in Java, Javascript, and Swift, as well as gRPC client support for C++, C#, Go, Java, Node, PHP, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, etc. (license Apache 2.0). Wire transport is JSON over websocket (long polling is also available) for custom bindings, or protobuf with gRPC. Persistent storage is any one of RethinkDB, MySQL or MongoDB. A third-party unsupported DynamoDB adapter also exists. Other databases can be supported by writing custom adapters. Tinode is not XMPP/Jabber. It is not compatible with XMPP. It's meant as a replacement for XMPP. On the surface, it's a lot like open source WhatsApp or Telegram. Version 0.17. This is beta-quality software, feature-complete and stable but probably with a few bugs. Follow instructions to install and run or use one of the cloud services provided. -

libsignal
Home to the Signal Protocol and other cryptographic primitives
libsignal is the foundational cryptographic library that implements the Signal Protocol and other essential primitives used across the official Signal clients and servers, enabling secure end-to-end encrypted communication. Written primarily in Rust with bindings and APIs surfaced for Java, Swift, and TypeScript, this library encapsulates critical algorithms like the Double Ratchet, prekey mechanisms, secure key storage, and zero-knowledge group primitives, along with additional utilities for media handling and device key transfer. libsignal abstracts complex cryptographic constructions into reusable components that client applications can adopt to ensure forward secrecy, authentication, and integrity without re-implementing core security logic. Although its primary use is within the Signal ecosystem, its documentation and exposed interfaces allow developers to explore modern secure messaging primitives or use pieces of the protocol in experimental applications. -

GiftedChat
The most complete chat UI for React Native
See the files in example-slack-message for an example of how to override the default UI to make something that looks more like Slack, with usernames displayed and all messages on the left. Avatar as user's initials. Localized dates. Multi-line TextInput. InputToolbar avoiding keyboard. Redux support. System message. Quick Reply messages (bot). Typying indicatior react-native-typing-animation. If you decide to specify a text prop, GiftedChat will no longer manage its own internal text state and will defer entirely to your prop. This is great for using a tool like Redux, but there's one extra step you'll need to take, simply implement onInputTextChanged to receive typing events and reset events (e.g. to clear the text onSend). If you are using Create React Native App / Expo, no Android specific installation steps are required, you can skip this section. Otherwise, we recommend modifying your project configuration. -

ChatSecure only uses well-known open-source cryptographic libraries to keep your conversations private. Other apps may make claims about "military grade" security but, without publicly auditable source code and verifiable end-to-end encryption, you cannot be truly safe. -

Interactable
Experimental implementation of high performance interactable views
This is an experimental implementation of a declarative API for handling fluid user interactions with views at 60 FPS in React Native. Here are some example use-cases for views that users can interact with. Swipeable card (a la Google Now) springing into place unless swiped away with enough force. Drawer snapping between closed and open with buttons appearing gradually as it's being dragged. Collapsible header that snaps to a smaller size as the content below is being scrolled. Chat heads (a la Facebook Messenger) that can be dragged around but snap to corners of the screen. All of these use-cases have views that continuously interact with the user's gestures. These interactions are normally physical in nature, having properties like springiness, friction, elasticity and damping. In order to feel natural on a touch device they need to run at 60 FPS. -
