About Briar

Briar is a secure messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone who values privacy. Unlike traditional messengers, it does not rely on central servers, enabling direct synchronization of messages between users' devices. The app works even without the Internet by using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or exchanging data via memory cards, making it indispensable in crisis situations. When connected, Briar routes data through the Tor network to protect users from surveillance and censorship. Key features include message encryption, offline functionality, support for group chats, and automatic synchronization when connection is restored. For maximum security, it is recommended to use the latest app versions and regularly update encryption keys. Briar is ideal for those who need a reliable and private communication channel in any circumstance, whether during protests, investigative journalism, or personal conversations.
