ArcaneChat is a decentralized and secure messenger app that is compatible with the existing e-mail infrastructure.

Some features at a glance:

💬 Reliable instant messaging with multi-profile and multi-device support.

⚡️ Sign-up easily using secure fast chatmail servers. You don’t need a phone number or any private data.

📧 Alternatively, use your existing classic e-mail address to read your inbox as chats.

🎮 Interactive mini-apps in chats for gaming and collaboration.

🔒 Audited end-to-end encryption safe against network and server attacks.

ArcaneChat is a Delta Chat client and was created with a focus on usability, good user experience, and saving data plan. Also the app usually experiments with new features that eventually might get added to the official Delta Chat client.

Main differences with official Delta Chat client:

Basic markdown support (bold, italic, strike, etc.)

Support for displaying Telegram's animated stickers (.tgs files)

Support for SVG images previews

Multiple color themes/skins

It is possible to disable accounts to completely disconnect them to save data/bandwidth

A videochat instance is set by default

Replies to your messages in muted groups trigger notifications

Location streaming feature enabled by default and extra option to share location for 12 hours

Videos are played in loop, useful for short GIF videos

Verified icon is shown in the chat list for the "Device Messages" chat

Voice messages have more aggressive compression in "worse quality" mode to save data plan

Automatic download of messages limited to 640KB by default

Account's display name is always shown in the app's title bar instead of the name of the app

Your avatar is visible to other users in Mailing Lists

Can be selected as app to open .xdc files

For mini-apps developers: there are some extra features in the WebXDC API, check https://github.com/ArcaneChat/android/#webxdc

Better settings organization with additional "Privacy" section

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Download Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
