It's been stuck in "coming soon" hell for ages, but VeilidChat may be of interest to you.
TorChat is rather clunky, but any privacy respecting chat app without an intermediate server will be. Is a bit like Tor but with some improvements, so running a chat protocol on top of it should work better.
Note that there is an app called "veilid chat" out there that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the people writing code on the Veilid network.
I've check VeilidChat for the moment indeed it is just a network framework... so no apps ready yet (unless I'm mistaken )
The negative point is that the developer use exclusively google tech for it !! ( Dart, flutter )
So why peoples that want to fight for freedom use the Sauron tool !? it baffle me...
