A serverless chat client for total privacy. Easy to use, Bleep offers freedom to communicate over text and voice, person to person.

BitTorrent Inc. is expanding the trial of its server-less peer-to-peer messaging app Bleep to pretty much anyone who wants to try it. Bleep entered an open alpha period late Wednesday with apps for Android (Google Play), Windows, and Mac. BitTorrent says an iOS version is coming at a later date.

 

The public availability of Bleep comes after the app was launched as an invite-only affair exclusively for Windows users in July.

To sign-up and get chatting with friends, you can identify yourself with an e-mail address or mobile phone number. Anyone who wants a little more anonymity can also try Bleep's incognito mode, where no personally identifying information is required.

 

BitTorrent says the app uses end-to-end encryption for sending messages and all message histories are stored locally on your device?no third-party server necessary.

I've played with enough to setup an account, but I don't have anyone to talk to yet. It was nice how I could use the QR code from the desktop to configure my account on Android. I tried to authenticate my account via email but the email never came. I used my phone number and I got a text instantaneously. You can also add someone by scanning their QR code in person or over a video chat.

 

Who wants to try it out with me! I'll send you a picture of my QR code.

I've been using the app now for about a week and it works great. Haven't used the voice chat. But i've just used the messaging for "certain" conversations. So far so good.
