Description

Ricochet is an anonymous, secure, and private messaging app that provides an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. It lets users communicate with each other without the need for a central server, meaning that no one else can access the conversation or the data being exchanged. It is also available as a web-based version, with the same features and end-to-end encryption. It uses a combination of Tor hidden services and a custom protocol, allowing for a secure, anonymous, and decentralized way of communication. It also offers a wide range of features, such as encrypted file transfers, anonymous contacts, and a secure chatroom. Ricochet is open source, meaning that all of its code is publicly available and can be verified by anyone. It is also available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
