Speek 是一种网络通讯服务，它利用多种技术保证网络聊天的私密性。


它是端到端加密的、去中心化和开源的。


毫无疑问，它的目标是将自己定位为 [WhatsApp 的替代品](https://itsfoss.com/private-whatsapp-alternatives/) 之一和 [Linux 上的 Signal](https://itsfoss.com/install-signal-ubuntu/) 的竞争对手。


那么，它到底如何呢？ 让我们一起来仔细看看细节。

Speek!（名称中带有感叹号）是一种加密的聊天软件，旨在抗审查，同时保护数据隐私。


你也可以认为它是 [Session](https://itsfoss.com/session-messenger/) 的替代品，但有一些区别。


与其他可用的通讯软件相比，它是一个相当新的竞争对手。但是如果你想尝试开源的解决方案，它应该作为候选者。


虽然 Speek! 声称能保持匿名，但如果你需要的是完全匿名的话，你应该始终注意自己在设备上的活动。因为你需要考虑的不仅仅是即时通讯软件。

Speek! 利用去中心化的 Tor 网络来保证安全性和私密性。不仅如此，这样做可以让你无需电话号码就能使用服务。你只需要你的 Speek ID 就可以与人联系，而别人很难知道你的 ID。

### Speek! 的亮点


![Speek! 选项](/data/attachment/album/202304/15/162919qbqt2tabq1tp2yuz.png)


Speek! 的一些主要亮点包括：


* 端到端加密：除收件人外，没有人可以查看你的消息。
* 通过 TOR 路由流量：使用 TOR 路由消息，增强隐私。
* 没有中央服务器：增加了对审查的抵抗力，因为很难关闭服务。此外，没有针对黑客的单一攻击点。
* 无需注册：无需共享任何个人信息即可开始使用该服务。你只需要一个公钥来识别/添加用户。
* 自毁聊天：当你关闭应用程序时，消息会自动删除。增添了额外的隐私和安全性。
* 无元数据：它会在你交换消息时消除任何元数据。
* 私人文件共享：你还可以使用该服务安全地共享文件。

### 关于 Speek! 的用户体验


这个应用的用户体验非常令人满意，包含了所有必备的功能。它可以更好，但已经很不错了。


嗯，关于 Speek! 的 GUI 没什么好说的。GUI 非常极简风。它的核心是一个聊天应用程序，而它做得恰如其分。没有动态，没有附近的人，没有不必要的附加组件。


在我使用这个应用程序的有限时间里，我很满意它的功能。它提供的功能使其成为一款出色的聊天应用程序，可通过其背后的所有技术提供安全和私密的消息传递体验。


如果将它与一些商业上更成功的聊天软件进行比较，它在功能上存在不足。但话又说回来，Speek! 的设计就不是一个只关注用户体验的时尚聊天应用。


因此，我只向注重隐私的用户推荐 Speek!。如果你想要平衡用户体验和功能，你可能希望继续使用像 Signal 这样的私人聊天软件。


你对于 Speek 又有什么看法？对于注重隐私的用户来说，它是一个很好的私人聊天软件吗？ 请在下方评论区告诉我你的想法。

OK
**Brief:** An interesting open-source private messenger that utilizes Tor to keep your communications secure and private.

Speek is an internet messaging service that leverages multiple technologies to help keep your internet chats private.

It is end-to-end encrypted, decentralized, and open-source.

Undoubtedly, it aims to pitch itself as one of the [WhatsApp alternatives](https://itsfoss.com/private-whatsapp-alternatives/) and a competitor to [Signal on Linux](https://itsfoss.com/install-signal-ubuntu/).

So, what is it all about? Let us take a closer look at the details.

## ‘Speek!’ A Peer-to-Peer Instant Messaging App for Linux and Android

![screenshot of Speek](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/05/01_speek_gui-1-800x532.webp)

Speek! (with an exclamation mark as part of its name) is an encrypted chat messenger that aims to fight against censorship while keeping your data private.

To keep things simple, we ignore the exclamation mark for the rest of the article.

You can also find it as an alternative to [Session](https://itsfoss.com/session-messenger/), but with some differences.

It is a fairly new competitor compared to other messengers available. However, it should be a candidate to try as an open-source solution.

While it claims to keep you anonymous, you should always be cautious of your activities on your devices to ensure complete anonymity, if that’s what you require. It’s not just the messenger that you need to think of.

![speek id](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/05/speek-id-800x497.png)

It utilizes a decentralized Tor network to keep things secure and private. And, this enables it to make the service useful without needing your phone number. You just require your Speek ID to connect with people, and it is tough for someone to know your ID.

## Features of Speek

![speek options](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/05/speek-options-800x483.png)

Some key highlights include:

**End-to-end encryption**: No one except for the recipient can view your messages.**Routing traffic over TOR**: Using TOR for routing messages, enhances privacy.**No centralized server**: Increases resistance against censorship because it’s tough to shut down the service. Moreover, no single attack point for hackers.**No sign-ups**: You do not need to share any personal information to start using the service. You just need a public key to identify/add users.**Self-destructing chat**: When you close the app, the messages are automatically deleted. For an extra layer of privacy and security.**No metadata**: It eliminates any metadata when you exchange messages.**Private file sharing**: You can also use the service to share files securely.

## Download Speek For Linux and Other Platforms

You can download Speek from their [official website](https://speek.network).

At the time of writing this article, Speek is available only on Linux, Android macOS, and Windows.

For Linux, you will find an [AppImage](https://itsfoss.com/appimage-interview/) file. In case you are unaware of AppImages, you can refer to our [AppImage guide](https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/) to run the application.

![speek android](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/05/speek-android.jpg)

And, the Android app on the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speek.chat) is fairly new. So, you should expect improvements when you try it out.

## Thoughts on Using Speek

![screenshot of Speek](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/05/01_speek_gui-1-800x532.webp)

The user experience for the app is pretty satisfying, and checks all the essentials required. It could be better, but it’s decent.

Well, there isn’t much to say about Speek’s GUI. The GUI is very minimal. It is a chat app at its core and does exactly that. No stories, no maps, no unnecessary add-ons.

In my limited time of using the app, I am satisfied with its functionalities. The features that it offers, make it a good chat app for providing a secure and private messaging experience with all the tech behind it.

If you’re going to compare it with some commercially successful chat apps, it falls short on features. But then again, Speek is not designed as a trendy chat app with a sole focus on user experience.

So, I would only recommend Speek for privacy-conscious users. If you want a balance of user experience and features, you might want to continue using private messengers like Signal.
