A peer to peer private anonymous and secure messenger that works over Tor.
About this app
As of December 2020 It's a still an ongoing effort and although fully functional it's only available for Android so far.
This project was started in July 2020, by Sofian Mahmoud Benissa after a series of meetings with Alton James Steele (project funder) where the idea of the project was presented.
Features * Double triple Diffie-Hellman end to end encryption * Completely peer to peer using hidden services * Cryptographic Identity Verification * Excellent Network Security * Voice Messages * Live Voice Calls over tor (alpha feature) * Text Messages * Metadata stripped media messages * Raw file sending of any size (100 GB+) * Both peers have to add each others onion addresses to be able to communicate * Disappearing messages by default * Encrypted file storage on Android * Screen security

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.dx.anonymousmessenger is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 0.8.14 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Anonymous Messenger first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Anonymous Messenger, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
