Features & Highlights 

Say anything. 
Send high-quality group, text, voice, video, document, and image messages from anywhere in the globe with no SMS or MMS fees. Signal Desktop allows you to message anyone on the app. 

Speak freely. 
Make crystal-clear voice and video calls to those who live across town or across the ocean, with no long-distance fees. 

Be yourself. 
It uses your current phone number and address book. There are no additional logins, usernames, or PINs to remember or lose. 

Pay nothing. 
The Signal communication software is funded by a dedicated team of developers, community donations, and grants. There are no adverts, and it is free to use. 

Stay private. 
The app's private messages and calls are always end-to-end encrypted and meticulously designed to protect your communication. It cannot read your messages or see your calls, and neither can anyone else. 

View Source. 
All of the code is free, open, and accessible via GitHub. 

Control time. 
Organize your conversation history with messages that can be made to disappear. Set distinct fading message intervals for each chat. Everyone in the post uses the same settings. Good memories will endure even if the words fade. 

Free for everyone. 
Signal for Windows PC is designed for you. As an open-source project funded by grants and donations, the program can prioritize users. There are no advertisements, no affiliate marketers, and no intrusive tracking. Simply open the technology for a quick, easy, and secure texting experience. The way things should be.
