Olvid has 2 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Olvid, a secure messenger, is finally open-source! They said before the end of 2021, well it’s really just before the end but it’s there. They released the source for their Android and their IOS app.

Apperantly, they run E2EE which means no servers are being used for storage of what people send to each other. They tell their visitors this on olvid.io (below “Olvid cares for you”).

E2EE doesn’t mean servers are not used for storage, it only means servers can’t see message contents.

Note that this doesn’t mean that Olvid uses no servers (it does). It means that you do not have to trust them: your privacy is ensured by cryptographic protocols running on the client-side (i.e., on your device), and these protocols assume that the servers were compromised from day one. Even then, your privacy is ensured blush.

(From the GitHub repo of the Android app.)
