| Spec score · Secure Messaging Apps | 8.7 (#3) | 7.6 (#27) |
| Encryption | When enabled, OMEMO provides end-to-end encryption for contacts and group chats, and the FAQ says attachments and their metadata are encrypted too. | Nheko supports end-to-end encryption, but its current implementation has never been audited and the project makes no security guarantees for it. |
| Purpose | Cheogram is a set of services that connect open communication networks so people can reach contacts from one app. | Nheko is a native desktop app for Matrix designed to feel more like a mainstream chat app. |
| Support | The site directs users to discussion on the web, Lemmy, or Reddit. | The README directs users seeking help with the undocumented D-Bus API to the #nheko:nheko.im Matrix room. |
