135 Mb of disk space. It works through Tor. No other way. You can split contacts and chats windows. Or merge them into one UI. I prefer a single UI. I expected it to be very slow through Tor, but it's almost instant. It can be made very secure by issuing some codes, that need to be inserted by the other party. In testing, I could link it with Thunderbird securely. So far, I couldn't send a picture, but it was a text chat anyway, so no media was supposed to be in it. Maybe it can be fixed somehow. Overall useful, anonymous.

What is CoyIM?

CoyIM is a safe and secure chat client.

CoyIM is a new client for the XMPP protocol. It adds a graphical user interface and tries to be safe and secure by default. Our ambition is that it should be possible for even the most high-risk people on the planet to safely use CoyIM, without having to make any configuration changes.

To do this, we enable OTR by default, we default to use Tor and we will use the Tor Onion Service for a server if we know it, and also to use TLS and TLS certificates to verify the connection - no configuration necessary. The implementation is written in the Go language, to avoid many common types of vulnerabilities that come from using unsafe languages.
