 I've started testing Molly, a "hardened" fork of Signal. So far I liked the Database Passphrase feature only that's important to me. Why don't Signal offer this feature?

Is Molly audited by any third party?

 Awesome. Signal used to have the database passphrase feature, then they removed it.

RAM shredding and user set "automatic lock-down" timer are pretty damn cool too.

OFC Signal is audited, But Molly has not yet been 3rd party audited, but lot's of very smart privacy-security folks who work for and with GrapheneOS use it.

It's coming.

Here's Molly's lead dev speaking on that in Dec '23
