I like TextSecure, but it has one main drawback as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't hide who is talking to who and when. It only hides the message content.

I imagine a messaging app which works like TextSecure (as far as encryption goes), but integrates with Orbot (Tor for Android). Both phones would set up a Hidden Service so they can communicate directly, over the Tor network, over the Internet without an intermediate server.

That would be the perfect messaging system IMO. Not only would the message content be hidden, but who is talking to who, and when, would also be hidden. And it wouldn't require anyone to run a server to handle the messages either.

Please, somebody make this app.
