Molly is a hardened version of the official Signal for Android app. It claims the following features,

Protects database with passphrase encryption
Locks down the app automatically after you go a certain time without unlocking your device
Securely shreds sensitive data from RAM
Allows you to delete contacts and stop sharing your profile
Clears call notifications together with expiring messages
Disables debug logs
No SMS integration

There are two flavors of it,

Molly - Similar to the official Signal app, plus the additional features
Molly-FOSS - Doesn't rely on any Google components for location, push notifications & face blurring, plus all the additional features

Download it from here.

I've been using it for a couple of days & it is pretty decent so far.

Anyone here already tried or are using it? How's the experience so far?
