BitTorrent has released its secure messaging app to world+dog, and given it the name “Bleep”

Bleep can now be had for iThings, Android, Windows and Mac OS. The app promises server-less, peer-to-peer, text or voice communications. The outfit says “we keep messages and the encryption keys for images stored on your local device, not the cloud”. The apps are said to leave no metadata trail, either.


The new releases add a “whisper” mode that sees messages deleted from all participants devices 25 seconds after they land. There's also a screen-grab defeater that fuzzes participants' names, or the messages.
