User reviews
Longtime user. Indefinitely feature frozen, but there are still a few bugfix releases a year. Blame bugs on google's shoddy android updates for creating bugs in apps. At the moment, keybase can't seem to open a filepicker, but you can still share-to keybase. It also sometimes forgets how to clear unread markers. The only bad thing that is kinda keybase's fault is the embedded video player, which is just chrome's video player, and it sucks.

Aelius Saionji, 2024-12-03Unfortunately, this software is now dead. I loved it, but the team sold it and abandoned the vision. Fair enough, but a huge shame. Don't pick this up if you're a new user, it's unlikely to be around much longer.

A Google user, 2024-10-22Since the move to Zoom, Keybase was neglected by the developers. The public web interface for file sharing was quietly decomissioned while the app itself became an unstable mess on Android and the desktop. I used to advocate for Keybase but now it's abandoned. It needs a rebuild and some love. Until it's fixed I uninstalled it.
