DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License Guest:
If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.
Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
Some do work on the PC too but these are the ones's I'm aware of off the top of my head:
1. Session - fork of Signal not requiring verification.
2. Threema
3. Wire
4. Matrix
5. XMPP
6. Jami
7. Antox
8. Briar Project - Android only
9. Wickr Me
10. Could include Manyverse / Patchwork on the SSB P2P protocol as person to person messages are securely encrypted.

Threema was paid for a good portion of its life (I think, without checking that it transitioned to free in the last while.) I believe @Steve was quite impressed with it when he had checked into it.

Signal is funded with Grants and Donations. Like what they do?, throw some notes their way so they never get hoovered up.
Signal Messenger: Speak Freely
Say "hello" to a different messaging experience. An unexpected focus on privacy, combined with all of the features you expect.

There's also Delta chat. https://delta.chat/en/
Then we also have the Fediverse which is comprised of many things like Matrix and Mastodon. Multiple clients can access Matrix (or other Fediverse servers). Element is probably the most used client at this point though. Best part about Matrix is you can also self-host, keep it from being federated, and use it as secure communications with only the people you invite.
Matrix even allows you to do things like this: https://www.beeperhq.com/
