µTox is a lightweight cross-platform client for the Tox peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted instant messaging protocol. It supports text chat, audio and video calls, file transfers, and group chats, written in C.
Use cases

- make private voice and video calls
- transfer files securely peer-to-peer
- chat in encrypted group chats
- run a lightweight Tox client on Linux or Windows
- share my screen or webcam privately
When to choose
- you want a minimal, fast Tox client with a small footprint
- you need encrypted messaging with no central servers
- you use Windows or Linux and want native performance
- you want audio/video calls over a P2P network
When to avoid
- you need a polished, stable messenger - it is alpha software
