- encrypted instant messaging with omemo
- make voice and video calls via jabber
- join xmpp group chats (MUC)
- self-hosted federated messaging client
- privacy-focused desktop messenger
When to choose
- you want a native GTK/Linux XMPP client with a clean UI
- you need end-to-end encrypted chat on a decentralized protocol
- you want to use your own XMPP server or pick any provider
- you need voice/video calls (Jingle) and file transfers over XMPP
When to avoid
