End-to-end encrypted messaging, native everywhere. One codebase, six platforms, zero tracking.
lqxp/app packages the QxChat web client (Vue 3, E2EE via Web Crypto) into native apps with Tauri v2: system notifications, tray, auto-updater, embedded Tor, background services on Android — the full desktop and mobile experience from a single codebase.
Same rooms, same keys, every screen. Pair your devices once with QxCloudSync and everything follows.
- ★ Native shell — system tray, native notifications, auto-updates from GitHub releases, deep polish per OS.
- ★ Embedded Tor — one-click Tor routing with live circuit map, relay directory, and geo view.
- ★ Device sync — rooms, messages, settings and keys across phone, desktop and web via QxCloudSync.
- ★ Calls & whiteboard — WebRTC voice, per-user volume, collaborative whiteboard, polls, spoiler effects.
- ★ Privacy modes — client lock, RAM-only OPSEC, decoy vault, streamer mode, 12-word recovery.
- ★ Extras — Discord Rich Presence, custom themes, EN/FR/RU/ES locales, screen-share audio.
