Question: I want a secure and private way to connect with others online - is there an app that prioritizes user privacy?

If you're looking for a private and secure way to communicate with others online, Texts could be the answer. This messaging app collects messages from iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram and other services into one inbox, encrypts messages and doesn't store user data. Stealth Mode, dark and light modes, and a customizable UI also help with privacy. It's available for macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS (beta).

Another option is Layla, an AI chatbot that runs on your device, a move that ensures your privacy and keeps you from being censored. Layla can chat with you, generate stories and ideas and even play the role of a character. It uses machine learning technology to learn your preferences and adapt to your style, so it can be a personal and private tool for communication.

If you prefer a video-first approach, Spinnr is 100% video-first with AI-powered features designed to help you connect with others through video profiles, messages and calls. The app is designed to be private, storing as little data as possible and with no ads, so it's a good option for people who want to be in the moment without worrying about privacy.

Last, Private LLM is a local AI chatbot that offers full privacy and offline use on iOS and macOS. It supports multiple open-source LLM models and offers a variety of AI services like grammar checking and summarizing text. It's private because it stores data locally, and it's optimized with quantization techniques for performance, making it a good option for people who want a local AI assistant.
