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.

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 Friend to tell a Friend about us.

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

WhatsNew:

Conversations with a very long history now open right away instead of taking up to a minute to appear. The most recent messages load first and the rest of the history fills in behind them. This was slow because every encrypted message is unpacked with strong key strengthening, and a long thread had thousands to do at once before showing anything. The encryption itself is unchanged, only the order the work happens in.

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).
