Signal must be setup on a smartphone before using it on desktop. What you listed in your reply is important for people to know to properly answer your question. You should consider updating your question. Good luck! Nothing else comes to mind that is simple and desktop-only.

I've just added it to the question ... thanks.

To be honest, I don't think there is anything that's robust, non-tech friendly, easy to set-up, and reasonably secure. It doesn't need to be secure against state-level actors, just against people accidentally copying in someone unintentionally.
