Profanity

Profanity is a console based XMPP client inspired by Irssi.

See the User Guide for information on installing and using Profanity.

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.

Installation

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