Retro Messenger is a retro-themed, end-to-end encrypted chat application built in C++ for Windows, Linux, and Android. It is designed for disappearing messages, so conversations vanish when the chat ends and nothing is stored. It also offers public chatrooms that purge after 24 hours, and runs without installation.
