 So far, Briar is only available as an Android app, which is preventing some organizations that work in repressive environments from using it as a secure communications tool and considering it as a more secure alternative to email. To remedy that, we have started working on a desktop app in September 2021 that is supposed to work on three major operating systems: Linux, macOS and Windows. We already released a beta version for Linux, including private chats in January 2022.
