So when you find a bug or issue, please report back. The developers are very helpful and supportive. For some reason it seems that some messages from time to time will be sent multiple times to a contact or a MUC. Monal has great potential, but also has some issues. It’s far easier for the developers to focus on one codebase than on two different ones. Catalyst shares the same code as the iOS version of Monal and will become the default Monal download within the next few weeks. If you want to try out Monal, don’t waste your time with the older client, but focus on Monal Catalyst ( direct download link). Monal is an actively developed and maintained client for macOS and iOS. The contact will receive and read your message when the contact is online and will eventually answer your message. It’s just different and puts the chat into focus, as said, maybe similar to WhatApp, Signal or other messengers nowadays where you just sent messages back and forth and don’t care if the contact is online. You can find your contacts when you want to start a conversation with your contact. There is no contact list at first glance where you can see whether or not your contacts are online.
Dinoĭino is available in Debian as dino-im and is a quite new client, which you will find out at first start: it’s a single window app where the focus is on the chats. Gajim has some nice features like service discovery on your or remote servers. Gajim is an old-style client with the well-known layout of a contact list window and one for the actual chats. I found that a little bit annoying, so I disabled that. There is even a plugin for letting the keyboard LED blink when there are new/unread messages. If you want to use OMEMO with Gajim you need to enable it in your plugin settings.
#XMPP CLIENT FOR MAC PRO#
But in the end all clients have their pro and cons… I’ll try to summarize a few clients on Linux, macOS and iOS… Linux Gajimįully featured multiprotol client with lots of available plugins.
#XMPP CLIENT FOR MAC ANDROID#
The situation for macOS and iOS users are not that good as for Windows, Linux or Android users. The situation on Linux is good as well: there are such clients as Gajim, which is an old player in the “market” and is available on other platforms as well, but there is with Dino a new/modern client as well that you may want to try out. As I don’t have Android, I can’t comment on it. So, if you have an Android phone, that’s the client you want to try&use. It’s surely not exaggerated to say that Conversations on Android is the de-facto standard client-wise. As I already wrote in my last blog post there’s much development in XMPP, not only on the server side, but also on the client side.
