Profanity

Profanity is a console based XMPP client inspired by Irssi.

If you like Profanity consider becoming a sponsor or donate some money.

Project

This project is about freedom, privacy and choice. We want to enable people to chat with one another in a safe way. Thus supporting encryption (OTR, PGP, OMEMO, OX) and being decentralized, meaning everyone can run their own server. We believe XMPP is a great proven protocol with an excellent community serving this purpose well.

Feel free to follow us on twitter, join our mailing list and/or MUC.

Our user guide contains an install section and a section for building from source yourself.
