Sideband is a privacy-focused, peer-to-peer mesh messaging protocol and platform that allows users to communicate directly over local networks or the internet without servers. It emphasizes metadata resistance and secure message delivery, working effectively in offline, low-bandwidth, or disaster recovery scenarios. Built-in Rust, Sideband supports encrypted group messaging, file transfers, and network self-discovery.
