Whisperfish
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.
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+.

This should be resolved after 24 hours, this is the unsealed sending rate limiter of Signal. In the next release, we will have sealed sending, and this should be permanently resolved. If the issue persisted after 24h, it is a different bug, and I'd appreciate logs!

Hi! There's currently something wrong with the registration. When you upgrade to beta.16 (when I release it, soon), you should be able to link your device as secondary to an existing Android installation, or as primary as you wish, after a reset (https://gitlab.com/whisperfish/whisperfish/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Ques...).

Hi Rubdos, Very promising to have Signal in Sailfish.
After I installed Whisperfish, I made it through registration and there is a UUID visible in Settings. But the Websocket status is Disconnected. Is there a way to connect?
X10ii on 4.4.0.72, version v0.6.0-dev
In the meanwhile, I installed the Android app too. That works, but it isn't the same ofcourse!

Whisperfish is currently indeed not capable of sending the first message. You can link Signal Desktop (Settings -> Linked devices) and send the first message through that, or ask your contact to send you the first message.
The way a first message is sent in Signal has been overhauled completely, and we need a lot of cleanup in the code before we can even start implementing it.

Hi Ruben. I scrolled several threads on openrepos, github, tjc... but i didn't found out how to create groups.
Am i to stupid or isn't it possible to add another contact (recipient) to a new or existing conversation?
Thanks a lot.

Hi! No stupidity involved. You can in principle use Signal Desktop to create groups, but I think that too broke recently.

I just tried to install Whisperfish. I followed all the steps described for deleting the Android installation on the same devixe. However, no connection established. What is strange: Whisperfish seems to recognize my account, because I have to enter a password when I start Whisperfish. Maybe there is spmething I have to delete in order to fully uninstall Whisperfish?

That sounds like a deactivated registration. Did you register on the Android or iOS application? If so: you can only have one single active registration on a phone.
If that's the case, and if you want to use Whisperfish again, you'll need to follow https://gitlab.com/whisperfish/whisperfish/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Ques... and before that you need to turn-off the registration lock in the Android Signal settings. Cfr. https://gitlab.com/rubdos/whisperfish/-/issues/148 and https://gitlab.com/rubdos/whisperfish/-/issues/149

How to paste a captcha string that is so long, that it won't fit in one terminal line?
rubdos
Thu, 2022/03/31 - 19:02
Permalink
I haven't been able to reproduce that it doesn't fit in one line myself. I'm not sure why it would not work.
Either way, there's a few things you can do. I've changed the wiki with a simple one: instead of first ssh-ing into the device, you run ssh with the command in one go.

There seems to be a newline in the captcha string you pasted on terminal; that should really not be there. That gets misinterpreted and rejected by Signal.
