Hey icy, the issue you raise about Signal not being decentralized, I think, is a valid one.

You should check out a decentralized messaging and social media app I have been working on - Omnii.

Omnii allows each user to manage their encryption keys, and all data exists in a decentralized manner - only on endpoints (users' phones), and not on a backend.

https://omnii.co is our website if you are interested.

The fact that you don’t offer a technical description of your application, and the fact that “Twisted Apps LLC“ does not have a credible online presence, does not inspire confidence in your security.

Omnii looks exciting. Signed up for the beta in Play store. But can’t find the app afterwards. Does it require specific hardware?

Hey, glad you are intrigued!

If you click the "Download Omnii Beta" button on the website, it should take you to the Google Play Store listing and allow you to download the Beta version of the app.

One restriction at the moment is that the app is closed to the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and India. If you do not reside in one of the listed countries, shoot me an email with the country you live in and I can see if we can open up the Beta to your country.

My email is: tyler@omnii.co
