## Features

Expand All @@ -29,15 +29,16 @@ Molly has unique features compared to Signal:
- Protects database with [passphrase encryption](https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android/wiki/Data-Encryption-At-Rest)
- Locks down the app automatically after you go a certain time without unlocking your device
- Securely shreds sensitive data from RAM
- Logging debug messages can be disabled
- Call notifications disappear together with expiring messages
- Debug logs can be disabled

Besides that, you will find all the features of Signal plus some minor tweaks and improvements. The only exception is the SMS integration, that was removed for compatibility.

## Free and Open-Source

Molly is open-source, just like Signal, although the app uses Google's proprietary libraries to support some key features. Molly-FOSS is the community effort to make it 100% free and open-source.
