Gajim provides desktop messaging for people with accounts on XMPP services. You can sign in to more than one account, organize your contacts, and start individual or group conversations. The app keeps past messages available for later reading, which helps with ongoing discussions across accounts. It connects to XMPP servers rather than messaging services that use other protocols.

Manage several XMPP accounts and their conversations from one desktop app.

After adding an account, you can open chats from the contact list and send files to other users. Gajim supports OMEMO and OpenPGP for encrypted messages when your contacts support them. It can also keep conversations aligned across devices using an XMPP synchronization feature. Optional plugins add functions, while settings let you adjust the interface and configure your accounts.

Features:

  • Connect to several XMPP accounts at once
  • Share files with people in your contact list
  • Participate in XMPP group rooms
  • Review previous conversations in the archive
  • Choose OMEMO or OpenPGP for message encryption
  • Add optional functions through plugins
Windows 10 or later
