What is Monal IM?

Monal is an open source iOS and macOS XMPP Chat-Client. It can connect to any standard XMPP chat server such as Gtalk or Facebook chat.

Notable features:

  • Free and No Ads! Strong focus on privacy. Does not phone home and does not have "metrics" software. Does not read any personal information.
  • A direct client that does not transmit your password to a 3rd party.
  • Standard XMPP Jingle VOIP. Allows voice conversation with any other user with a program that supports it (e.g. GTalk, pidgin, psi, etc.)
  • Will work with corporate XMPP servers that require VPN
  • MUC multi user chat
  • Tested heavily with Gtalk, facebook, openfire, prosody and ejabberd servers.
