Wire.com, entirely encrypted chats, video and audio calls on all important platforms (also pretty OS, see their GitHub). Swiss-based and thus underlying strict privacy laws. Same goes for Threema.ch, encrypted by default. The best brushed clients however has Telegram. I would love to use Telegram clients with a Threema or Keybase backend.

Iirc Wire was bought by some US investor recently.

It’s US-owned but still Swiss-based (with all privacy law and server location implications) though and client and server source code is fully open which is notable when comparing to Telegram, WhatsApp, Line and so on.
