Onionphone is a native Android application for anonymous, end-to-end encrypted push-to-talk voice and text communication over the Tor network. No servers, no accounts, no phone numbers — your .onion address is your identity.
Cross-platform compatible with Terminalphone — call between Android and Linux/Termux using the same protocol.
Optionally use your connection as a relay for ephermeral group channels.
Find the release page for version 1.0.2 which supports custom bridges for accessing censored networks.
Nice a real step forward for private communication.
Would be awesome if it ever has a messaging section without having to make a call, still, an awesome start!
convenient in one app, but we already have briar for that
I've put some thought into this. The biggest roadblock to P2P is 24/7 persistence. You have to be online.
I think the most straightforward path to this is having the ability to setup a mailbox sort of how the relay works but on a machine that's on a 24/7 stable connection. Because it's already cross compatible with Linux systems, it would make the most sense to have a dedicated mailbox there, and have it forward your messages that were missed while you were offline.
Once the mailbox is set up, it's just a matter of tieing the separate mailbox identity to forward messages to you once your online. Ideally integrate tors built in authorized client protocol to ensure only one person is authorized to the mailbox.
