If you're speaking about iOS, the dev just tweeted this: https://twitter.com/SarahJamieLewis/status/14088573160870584...

They are competing with Signal (and also every other insecure messenger like WhatsApp and Telegram), and Signal already exists.

Cross-platform support is table stakes for a messenger. This will likely go the way of Ricochet.

    Decentralized vs Centralized is the competition. Cross platform is a goal, but, I believe, user privacy comes first for Cwtch.

    The status of Cwtch right now is probably more analogous to Moxie’s work on Axolotl before he launched Signal: a boundary-pushing messaging protocol that looks promising but is not yet widely deployed.
