Whisperfish is an advanced but unofficial Signal client. Whisperfish should be in a usable state for many users, but is still considered beta quality software; make sure to always have the latest version! Also, check our Wiki and feel free to contribute to it! Currently, mimimum supported SailfishOS version is 3.4. We intend to keep compatibility with 3.3 for as long as humanly possible. The build for SailfishOS 3.x is located in a separate OpenRepos application.

Do not ever contact the Signal developers about a Whisperfish issue. You will annoy them and make them dislike us. Contact us instead (see below).

    

Known issues and implemented features

Lot's of stuff should work. Check the forum for an up-to-date known issues list.

Registration and linking is currently broken, new installations should wait for beta.24/rc.1!

Contribute: get in touch, report issues and translate!

   

 

If the app behaves strangely or slow (I have a strong dislike for slow software) to you, please get in touch on Matrix #whisperfish:rubdos.be or on Libera.Chat #whisperfish, file an issue, or send an email to whisperfish [at] rubdos [dot] be, or post on the SailfishOS Forum topic. If it works well already, alse let me know! That's good for morale.

Development and progress

 

Follow the progress of the rework in the 0.6 milestone on Gitlab. If you are interested in contributing, contact me on Gitlab. If you want to discuss development, join the discussion on Matrix #whisperfish:rubdos.be.

There are nightly builds (in form of RPM) available on Gitlab. Nighlies eat batteries for breakfast, break up with your girlfriend, and use magic to turn phones into bricks. If you want to use them, please come and chat on Matrix or IRC. Whenever there is a version that makes sense, and has a low probability of tearing apart the very fabric of the universe, it'll be here on Open Repos!

Donations

 

Thanks for the support, feel free to buy us a coffee! Liberapay allows for donations via PayPal or credit card. While we do appreciate the donations, please consider matching your donation towards Signal themselves. They need it more than we do! Also consider donating to Weblate, because they provide their translation hosting service to us and many other SailfishOS applications at no cost!

Licence note

The original Whisperfish 0.5.0, by Andrew, was released under GPLv3+. Since we are using the upstream code of Signal themselves, partly licensed under AGPLv3+, the whole of Whisperfish 0.6.0 falls under AGPLv3+.

Registration

Signal overhauled their registration procedure. In my eyes, the new API flow has been redesigned to allow for registrations without phone number in the future. Signal has, meanwhile, introduced usernames, which will allow you to hide your phone number from contacts and groups. I hope to get this into Whisperfish soon™ too.

Post-quantum key exchange

Signal recently introduced post-quantum key exchanges for their end-to-end encryption protocol. This is, as far as I know, the first broad and permanent real-world deployment of post-quantum cryptography, and follows the very recent NIST standardization of Kyber. Signal is yet to announce this change officially, but it has been in production for two weeks. I expect Signal to roll out a rekey event for all sessions, and at that time announce the roll-out.

The deployment is a hybrid of X25519 and Kyber. This means that if the new Kyber system is horribly broken next week, your sessions will still be secure in the classical sense.

Practically speaking, the current change means that every new session with a contact will be protected against capture-now-decrypt-later attacks by (currently non-existing) cryptographically-relevant quantum computers, under the condition that Kyber remains as secure as it is thought to be.

I expect Signal to trigger session renewals or rekeying events to additionally protect existing sessions from the “quantum threat”.

Comments

Yes, Whisperfish and the Android Signal app are both "primary device" apps. Ntninja has a work-in-progress branch that would enable Whisperfish to act as "secondary device", which would enable using WF and an official app at the same time. This is not a priority for me though.

No workaround for GroupV2, we have to implement completely new crypto for this. Creating groups from Whisperfish is also not possible. The only thing you can do, is to ask a group member to create a new group that includes you from the beginning. GroupV2 is high on the priority list because of several reasons.

Swipe move? If you refer to "reacting" to a message (both with emoji and with text), yes, this is planned, but not a priority currently.

Thank you for your answers!

deprecated's picture

@rubdos Thank you for all your hard work and devotion to our community. If there's anything I can help with (testing, trying different configurations, etc.) I'll be glad to do so.

Am I correct in assuming that, if I register Whisperfish before updating to Sailfish 4.x, the captcha rendering should work okay?

Thank you!

rubdos's picture

Very correct assumption! I urge everyone to register before upgrading to 4.0, because I'm not sure whether we will resolve this issue before 4.1 comes out. There seems to be an issue with Jolla's library.

Testing is very much appreciated indeed. If you want to live on the edge, you can download the master branch builds, but if you do so, please come have a chat on IRC or Matrix :-)

csg1976's picture

Cannot register for some reason. "Client could not be set up"

rubdos's picture

We're currently working on fixing this, as currently written in the description. Getting it done is a bit more difficult than expected. :-(

damoleon's picture

Edit : sorry I missed the part above where it says it's planned for beta1 :) I'll wait, thanks :)

 

Thanks again for this app. Is linking the device with signal desktop implemented yet ?

when I copy the url to link the device and click on "add". It just comes back to the "linked devices" page. But the device isn't linked even after "refresh".

Keep up the nice and hard work :)

rubdos's picture

Thanks! Beta 1 will be glorious! :-)

Thanks for this app and for the quick response, I'm looking forward to try out the alpha.8! And sorry for the formatting of the log, it didn't come out quite right when I tried to copy-paste directly on the phone...

No worries about the formatting. Your log definitely confirmed that there's a fundamental problem, it's been very helpful :-)

Hi, I tried to take this into use, but registration fails. I tried 0.6.0-alpha7 and 0.6.0-beta1 nightly

here is some log:

Hi! It looks like since yesterday, second of Februari, we see hightened requests from Signal for Whisperfish users to file a captcha. Some developers (including me) have gotten them too.

I will prioritise the captcha implementation now. There doesn't seem to be a viable workaround. I'll make a note in the description, and break out an alpha.8 soon™.

Thx for your fast reply. Nice to hear that you have all my questions on your desk. I will go on using Wf on my Jolla C and for the rest I will do like Wonko, wait for the next release. :-)

Thx for the nativ client for Signal. Good job and I hope for ongoing development. There are to things to say. It took me 3 days to find the button for sending pictures. (For others: it's not a separate button, you have to press and hold the send-button and the option for sending files will appear ;).) Please insert a description for this function on the about-page.
I don't know how to get an overview about my contacts using Signal/ Whisperfish. When I open a new communication all my contacts appear in the list (and I know that only a few of them have Signal). One more thing, can you please make a checkbox in the settings to start without password?
Otherwise brilliant and keep up the good work.

Wrt. attachments, I'll do you one better: I yesterday merged a new UI with a separate attachment button. Will be a lot clearer this way. Will be in the next release!

Contact filtering is scheduled, but needs some work still.

Starting without password is the same story, but the first steps have been made this week: the next release will allow to register anew without setting a password. Disabling the password is quite involved.

Thank you very much for Whiperfish. I really love the idea of a native SF Signal agent. I recently ran into problems with a friend also using Whisperfish. During a conversation we changed clients and had to reset the crypto. We could not find any control in Whisperfish to do that and so I had to use the Droid client so restart the conversation. Did we miss something or is this feature not implemented yet?

rubdos's picture

I have implemented this yesterday, it will be included in the next release. If you can't wait, you can download the master branch RPM.

Thank you very much. I will wait for the next release. And I really appreciate your work.

Please post your PayPal adress for donation! Thx

Hi! I added a PayPal account to my Liberapay page. Let me know if that worked. Please also consider matching your donation towards Signal, or let me know, and I can split the donation.

Hmm. Suddenly started to work :) Ignore the above please. And thank you again!

rubdos's picture

Signal's servers were down! Things seem to be better now :-)

I've taken notes to see how we can respond to this with a message, at https://gitlab.com/rubdos/whisperfish/-/issues/175.

rossholmes's picture

Thanks very much for the app! I've installed it and went through the registration process. I am able to receive messages, but the ones I send doesn't reach my contact. What am I missing? Cheers

Still in need for a citation for "The people behind Signal have been quite outspoken against third-party clients in the past"? https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217211165 (may 2016)

Added!

Hi, I’ve installed alpha7 successfully. Thanks a lot !
My contacts cannot add me to a group though.
They get a message like “the person you added doesn’t accept “new groups” and must update signal”
Is there something i can do or just wait for this to be implemented ?
Thank you in advance

rubdos's picture

Looks like they now enforce GroupsV2, so I'll move that up the priority list.

Thanks for the update! Do i understand the release notes right that opening attachments now works, but only if i deinstall whisperfish and reinstall it again?

rubdos's picture

There should be no need to reinstall. If it still does not work, please get in touch, because it should just work™.

Hello
I am one of the Installations where attachment (image in this case) is not working. By tapping on the attachment a new empty page is coming. Dont know what should have been coming instead. If i click on open the app crashes and i go back to sailfish app overview immediately.
I wrote also on freenode. But in browser . Is there a sailfish app?
