DresSecureComms is a FOSS, de-Googled, all-in-one secure communications app. It works fully offline for SMS and calls, with no Google services and no trackers.

Features:

Encryption covers SMS text only. Pictures and group messages are sent unencrypted for now, the same as any normal messaging app, so they arrive readable on any phone.

End Notes:

We need your help to battle Google and its restrictions so if you use any of our projects, services or apps and it works for you then please tell a freind to tell a freind about us.

Part of the DresOS Android privacy and defensive-security project.

WhatsNew:

Adds File Scan, version one of the scan engine that is set to replace Hypatia inside DresOS. It checks any file or every installed app by fingerprint, so nothing is ever uploaded, only a SHA-256 that comes back checked against seventy or more engines. Adds Spam Shield, which screens calls on the device before your phone rings, blocks premium rate numbers, flags callers faking your local prefix, and lets you block or unblock any number from the call log. Encryption keys are now per contact instea

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. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
