Comment on Ask HN: What encrypted chat application to choose?

Comments

I'm with you. Not having both a desktop client and a mobile one is a large impediment to using many of these apps. Your best bet is something that uses OTR right now, probably, such as Pidgin on desktop with ChatSecure on mobile, or CryptoCat (but it seems it still only has an iOS version right now).

I'm waiting on TextSecure to gets it own desktop version (hopefully with video support as well), but I haven't seen any updates on that for half a year, so it's probably going to take at least another 6-12 months to be done.
