I recently discovered that Briar is available on desktop now! Are you using it on desktop yet?

what's it like? does it sync the entire message history?

It'll sync history for forums and private groups. Since there's no "login" it is a different account on every device you use, so there's no history on individual chats to sync. I think this makes private groups a little more useful because you can have multiple logins on a single group to communicate with others on that same group. A little clunky but way more secure than anything else out there.
