If they made a desktop version you'd know they are serious about privacy. Instead you are forced to use mobile platforms which are, in reality, anti-privacy.

1) It makes sense to go where the users are.

2) Major mobile platforms are anti privacy in some ways, reasonably private in others

3) Mobile devices have cameras which make QR/key sharing much easier than desktop

4) GrapheneOS

>desktop version

There is an official Linux client for the terminal.

It is likely that someone will eventually make a multi-platform GUI.
