Dialog brings encrypted chats to your Linux desktop without asking who you are. Sign-up takes a few seconds: you get a random account number, a password and a recovery phrase. No phone number, no email address, no contact book upload.
Everything you send is encrypted on your computer before it leaves it. The server only relays sealed messages it cannot open, and deletes them once they are delivered.
What you can do:
Built in the open: the desktop app, the mobile apps and the server are published under the AGPL-3.0 licence on GitHub. The default server runs in Germany, and you can point the app at your own server if you prefer to host it yourself.
No ads, no trackers, no selling of data.
Dialog also runs on Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone: https://dialog.pm

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Dialog - Private messenger for Linux, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install dialog-pm
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
