“Bleep” – BitTorrent’s encrypted peer-to-peer (P2P) server-less messaging service has been officially released & available for download on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.
So what’s so special about this app? Well, unlike many other messaging services, Bleep is P2P, which means there’s no server involved in communications, and clients speak to each other directly. Additionally, all communication is encrypted end-to-end, which means messages sent via Bleep cannot be intercepted.
Security seems quite convincing right? Well, there’s no signup process for the app! All you need is a Bleep client and a nickname. You can share your Bleep key – available within the Bleep client – with people you want to chat with, or optionally register your mobile number or email address so that it’s easier for your friends to find you.
Bleep also includes support for voice calls and is completely free for individual use. The official release also brings a new Whisper mode for ephemeral messaging.
