Tox
Easy-to-use, free, and encrypted messaging without anyone listening in.
Tox is a free, open-source instant messaging application that offers encrypted text, voice, video, file sharing, and group chats. It operates on a fully distributed network with no central servers, making it resistant to surveillance and censorship. The project is community-driven with no corporate backing or advertising.
Tox uses open-source encryption libraries and a distributed peer-to-peer network so messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted with no central servers to raid or surveil.
Privacy-conscious individuals who want secure, free communication without corporate surveillance
