I love Signal. But despite my best efforts, I still have friends using WA and iMessage. Managing multiple apps is kinda a pain. Beeper offers a convenient way to combine them into one interface, and it claims to re-encrypt the content. Does anyone know anything about this claim?

From their website:

Messages sent using Beeper to other chat networks are re-encrypted if the other network supports encryption (like Signal, WhatsApp and iMessage).

So…Safe? Or no?

    I can’t speak on anything with beeper but a similar service that is self hostable is matrix-synapse. I mention self hosting as an answer to your concerns of safety but the other side of the coin is this isn’t introductory stuff, if you don’t have a background or general enterpris experience with this kind of thing i don’t recommend it. If you do then this seems like a good fit as you can run your own bridges into the matrix service you’re hosting so all your data stays on your own systems.
