Briar is an open-source messenger built for situations where centralized servers are risky. Public docs describe peer-to-peer sync and Tor support for remote contacts.

What this page does not claim

P2P messengers still need careful device security; this page is not a threat model.

Public sources

This profile is compiled from open, publicly available internet sources. We use those pages as background, not as partners, and a published mention is not a live check of the service.
