SimpleX – the first messaging platform that has no user identifiers of any kind – 100% private by design!
Security assessment by Trail of Bits: https://simplex.chat/blog/20221108-simplex-chat-v4.2-security-audit-new-website.html

SimpleX Chat advantages: – privacy of your identity, profile, contacts and metadata: unlike any other existing messaging platform, SimpleX uses no phone numbers or any other identifiers assigned to the users – not even random numbers. This protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers. – complete protection against spam and abuse: as you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address. – full ownership, control and security of your data: SimpleX stores all user data on client devices, the messages are only held temporarily on SimpleX relay servers until they are received. – decentralized proxied peer-to-peer network: you can use SimpleX Chat via your own relay servers and still communicate with people using pre-configured or any other SimpleX relay servers. – fully open-source code.
You can connect to anybody you know via link or scan QR code (in the video call or in person) and start sending messages instantly – no emails, phone numbers or passwords needed.
Your profile and contacts are only stored in the app on your device – relay servers do not have access to this information.
All messages are end-to-end encrypted using open-source double-ratchet protocol; the messages are delivered via relay servers using open-source SimpleX Messaging Protocol.
