Baresip is a portable and modular SIP User-Agent written in C with audio and video call support. It provides a rich feature set including multiple SIP accounts, call handling, encryption (TLS, SRTP, ZRTP), and a wide range of audio/video codecs and drivers.

Use cases

  • make voip calls from the command line
  • build a custom sip softphone
  • embed a sip user-agent into another application
  • test sip infrastructure and pbx systems
  • make encrypted audio and video calls over sip
  • run a headless sip client on a server

When to avoid

  • you want a polished graphical softphone for end users
  • you need a web-based calling solution rather than a native client
  • you prefer a higher-level language or framework for rapid development
