Schlikk Calls vs ThreatScoopOnionChat
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Schlikk Calls
Raise the volume on call - no need to turn up notifications Grant permission READ_PHONE_STATE (mandatory) to get the basic functionality. On incoming call the volume is adjusted to your preference. After the call the volume is reset to the previous setting. If your phone is in DoNotDisturb mode however, nothing is changed. Enable reading of the phone numbers so that the app can see who is calling you. With this you can set a different volume for each number. Grant permission ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY (optional) to enable the app to toggle your phone's DoNotDisturb mode. With this you can mark numbers as important. The app will deactivate DoNotDisturb mode iff an important number calls you.
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.
