Today we are soft launching a new, secure news reader app that is completely free, open-source, extremely secure and very usable. It has built-in support for Tor, encryption of all downloaded data, device-to-device app and data sharing, and a quick panic wipe feature. We designed this app to work great in places where the Internet is blocked, filtered or spotty. You can share the app between devices easily, and then bluetooth any downloaded content as well, for full offline sneakernet mode. Did I mention it how nice it looks, and easy it is to use?
Learn more and get all the links here: https://guardianproject.info/apps/courier/ As always bug reports, code reviews, ideas and feedback are welcome. Beyond the app itself, we really hope the core Secure Reader Library can find its way into other apps, and that some of the feature ideas we've implemented here (panic, offline sharing, etc) spread to other apps. Secure Reader: the main generic "white label" app project: https://github.com/guardianproject/securereader Secure Reader Library (build your own reader app): https://github.com/guardianproject/securereaderlibrary There are too many great features to summarize, so read on below or visit the link below to get more detail, try the app yourself, or check out the source code. ★ SECURE: Courier works with Orbot, Tor for Android to defend against network surveillance and protect your privacy ★ ENCRYPTED: Courier encrypts your stored news – and personal information – to protect your privacy ★ PANIC: Courier’s configurable “panic” action will remove your news, your personal data and optionally the app itself with one swipe ★ SAFE: Courier securely caches your password with a configurable timeout. You can configure for repeated password entry failures to trigger data (and app!) deletion. And you can set a special “kill password”. ★ AUTOMATIC: Courier quietly synchronizes your feeds in the background (manual mode available, too!) ★ CONTENT SHARE: secure, off-network, sharing of news articles with other users of Courier via Bluetooth (unsecure share available, too!) ★ PEER-TO-PEER APP SHARING: Get your friends set up with Courier by sharing the app over a common WiFi network or hotspot. ★ LIGHTWEIGHT: configure Courier to minimize network data use on low-speed networks or sync only on wi-fi ★ FAVORITES: mark articles as easily-retrieved favorites ★ PRE-CONFIGURED: Courier ships with desirable international news feeds, and it’s easy to add your own ★ LANGUAGES: English, Chinese (中國的), Tibetan (བོད་ཡིག), Ukrainian (Український), Russian (русский) ★ AD-FREE: Courier is an ad-free, open-source application
