              matrix if you want cloud storage for conversations
jami or briar if you're okay with p2p
simplex for the most secure cryptography and "just works" better than p2p

Last time I tried SimpleX, you had to scan a QR code to go from Desktop to mobile and vice versa, any chance of them changing that? Otherwise it did look promising.

yeah you can only use one device at a time because simplex doesn't have accounts, just devices. but you can make another account per device and add them to your chats
