SimpleX is kinda good, but also we have briar, it does have ids, but more secure and 2P2, i don't know if simpleX was checked by third parties about security, briar was audited by cure53 for example.
I believe Briar can't do offline messaging without setting it up to use another app. That's the main reason my friend group shifted to SimpleX instead of Briar.
Briar... not familiar with, thx for sharing privacy goodies. Will check it out.
As for audits on SimpleX, there have been some. Not sure when the last one was tho, they prob have something on their site with a date.
