Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives

pttdroid

Talk with other people on the same WiFi network. The app uses broadcast and multicast for communication over the same local network (WiFi) and unicast for point-to-point communication, which also works on GSM. Uses Speex (https://www.speex.org/) for voice encoding which can be adapted to the bandwidth.

ThreatScoopOnionChat

# ThreadScoopOnionChat This version is a fork from " https://github.com/session-foundation/session-android ", enfocado en la privacidad. ## How Did ThreadScoopOnionChat Come About? I have always been a fan of privacy and security in communications, and I am constantly researching potential security breaches in messaging applications. ThreadScoopOnionChat emerged after the analysis of this blog "https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/", in which several aspects are described as to why using Session is not recommended, and I wondered how it is possible that a foundation focused on privacy—with the grants and support it receives—has not been able to improve this protocol. I still do not understand the answer, since my resources are much smaller than those of a foundation compared to that of a person who is simply a fan of privacy and security. In this blog, certain problems were described: 1> "https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/#insufficient-entropy-ed25519" 2> "https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/#in-band-negotiation" 3> "https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/#public-keys-aes-gcm" This is a forked version privacy focussed from Session.
