Berty is an open, secure, offline-first, peer-to-peer messaging app that offers encrypted and offline communication without a central server. It provides end-to-end encryption, ensuring that even developers, corporations, or governments cannot access user data.
Berty's distributed network and P2P direct messaging prevent interception by ISPs, hackers, or governments. User anonymity is prioritized, as no personal information is required.
The Berty Messenger, or simply Berty, is a messaging application written in React Native, that uses the Wesh Protocol through gomobile-ipfs, which, in turns, is using gomobile.
