OSHI Messenger - The French alternative to Bitchat and Telegram for messaging

OSHI is an encrypted messenger that keeps working when the network does not. Nearby phones relay for each other over Bluetooth mesh and LoRa, so a conversation keeps moving in airplane mode, underground, or during an outage. No phone number, no account, no SIM. One-to-one chats are end-to-end encrypted with a Double Ratchet, and you can verify any contact with a safety number. Offline maps, steganography, and an on-device AI that never sends a word off your phone. Free and open source, MIT.
