    It does need a first installation on a Mobile or Android device in order to get the PC version running.

    I stand correct.

    And to be honest the solution of Matrix is easier

    What is the matrix solution for that? Keys will always have to be exchanged between devices

      Yes, but fact is, that this is the easiest way for most users. And also most users don’t care if you can use it stand alone on a PC or not, and if it is linked to a phone number or not.

      You can use devices to cross-sign each other or use a passphrase.
