Monal (software)

Monal is an XMPP messaging client software for MacOS, and application for iOS. It's among the rare XMPP software, running on Apple platforms, to support both OMEMO and Jingle protocols.
History
Monal was forked from SwordIM, an XMPP client for macOS, in 2002. Its renewal has started almost two decades later to make it functional for Apple devices.
In 2024, Monal was removed from the Chinese AppStore from Apple, on the request of Chinese authorities, along with Telegram, Signal and Whatsapp.
