Private messenger for desktop and mobile platforms. It's mostly written in Haskell except for UI.

Also the server backend for the Wire messenger https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server

Pity that Wire never took off. It combined all the advantages of messaging apps for a while (available on many platforms, e2ee, etc.).

Goes to show that success is not determined by technology.

Having a quick look through their repos, it looks like they don't use Haskell for the mobile platforms?

Their flake.nix indicates they use Haskell to generate cross compiled shared library for Android, iOS, Mac, Linux and Windows.

I am not expert in Nix but at high level I can see they are indeed using Haskell.

ah that makes sense thanks!
