Monal is an open source instant messaging client for iOS and macOS that supports Google Talk, XMPP and Jingle VOIP.
History
Originally released as SworIM, combination of the Nepalese word Swor (devnagari स्वर ) meaning voice and IM. with a temporary icon, it was renamed to Monal and given its new icon in early 2010 by Ayush Pokharel. It is named after the Himalayan monal[2] with the intention of adhering to the bird themes of other IM clients such as Adium's duck and Pidgin's pigeon. Along with the new name it adopted the Stockholm theme since the author felt Mac OS X users of Adium would find that familiar.
Protocols
Monal supports the following protocols:
- XMPP (formerly known as Jabber) including Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, and LiveJournal services
- XMPP Jingle VOIP
