About this site
Independent guidance, traceable sources
Bit-chat.xyz is an independent community guide. It is not the official BitChat website, does not develop the app, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BitChat developers.
Why this guide exists
BitChat is distributed across app stores and separate platform repositories. Search results can also surface old TestFlight instructions, incorrect Android package names, re-hosted APK files, and descriptions that blur offline mesh with internet-assisted features. This guide puts the current official destinations and their timestamps in one place.
How we verify information
- Distribution: we link directly to Apple App Store, Google Play, and repositories in the
permissionlesstechGitHub organization. - Versions: a daily Cloudflare Worker checks Apple’s public lookup result and the latest official iOS and Android GitHub releases. The result and check time are stored in Workers KV.
- Technical claims: architecture and security descriptions link to current platform repositories. We distinguish project statements from tests we have independently reproduced.
- Corrections: articles show an updated date; material version changes are recorded by the tracker and surfaced on the homepage.

Editorial limitation
Automated checks can detect a new public version; they cannot prove that software is secure, that a store build matches source code exactly, or that a feature behaves identically on every device. For sensitive decisions, inspect the exact release and current project notices yourself.
