      Basically the exact opposite yeah, unless you’re a shit coder. Looking under the hood doesn’t make it less secure if you use actual encryption. It’s only an issue if there are bugs or backdoors, which, being open source lets you find and eliminate.

      Can’t sideload on Apple products in the USA anyway. This needs to be a website or something.

        Seriously, why make this an app? That almost screams honeypot. Software development truly damages the brain.
