Briar Old Versions APK
Briar Project
Briar is a privacy-focused messaging app for people who need resilient communication without depending on a central server. It lets activists, journalists, and everyday contacts exchange private messages, create groups and forums, and share updates through personal blogs. Messages can synchronize directly over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when the internet is unavailable, while Tor supports private connections when users are online. Accounts and message data stay on the device, and contacts can be added through shared links or QR codes. Briar suits users who value encrypted, local-first communication and control over how conversations travel.
