• Use Patchwork online or offline, the data you need is stored on your device.
• Sync messages with friends when you're on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Keep secrets with private messages, which are always end-to-end encrypted.
• Change and improve Patchwork however you'd like, it's free and open source.
