Profanity

Commandline XMPP Client. Profanity was originally written for two main reasons. Firstly, the author wanted something similar to Irssi, but with a focus on XMPP for use in his workplace. Secondly, it was a bit of fun and a learning exercise.

    Terminal-based XMPP client. Easy to learn thanks to good documentation and an internal '/help command' system. It's fine for bare-bones chatting and has good encryption support. If you want smileys, avatars, text formatting etc., you'll need a GUI client.
