Popular messengers hide a data center in the middle. You send; their server holds the line until the other phone wakes. Instant is easy when someone else is always online on your behalf.

Glitr refuses that shape. The always-online party is your git host, and git hosts are not chat servers. They accept a push when you make one. They do not ring a peer.

Glitr has more than one way to move a message. You do not pick a mode in settings. The contact row tells you which path the next send will use — and whether git can save you if Live drops.
