Security
Skred
A French messenger that asks for nothing: no phone number, no email, no account. Messages and calls travel device-to-device (WebRTC peer-to-peer) and are end-to-end encrypted, with no content stored on a server. Free, no subscription; servers in Europe, under French and EU law. Source code being published under AGPL.
What the shipped app itself requests: 47 permissions — camera, microphone and network (expected for a messenger), plus background location while sharing your position in a call, and push notifications routed through Google/Firebase.
Peer-to-peer · No phone number · E2E encrypted

How we pick what lands here
- We publish what we can verify. Every claim on a card comes from the shipped file itself — the permissions read out of the installed package, not out of a description or a store listing.
- No internet means nothing to leak. Where a program does not need the network, we count that absence as a feature — and say so.
- Same category, head to head. A product appears on this page only when it protects you better than the alternatives it actually competes with.
- Nothing here is paid placement. If that ever changes, the card will say so.
