Press Release The Briar Project released version 1.1 of its Android app today. This release adds new features following the app’s first public release in May. Thanks to support from the Open Technology Fund, the new release has a dark theme designed by Ura Design. Users can switch between the light and dark themes, or use an automatic mode that activates the dark theme at night. The conversation screen has also been redesigned, with rounded message bubbles and a new color scheme.
