  • From what I’ve researched, Beeper’s servers are only used when you use their push-notification service as it’s not possible to use Apple’s own push notifications(obviously). Everything else is done locally (encryption and what not). You don’t even need an Apple ID, just a phone number.

    The backend code is already open source, however their app isn’t, so there is a bit of trust involved. Also, the app isn’t free so that sucks. There are plans to open source it though.

    You can also try iMessage using the link I sent previously, all trustless and independent from Beeper.

    If Beeper decides not to open-source their app, someone capable could definitely step up as once again, the underlying tech is open source.

    I advise you to DYOR if you’d like to verify any suspicions, i’m not the best at explaining things.
