Kandru Messenger (XMPP/Jabber)

For many years more and more Messenger enter the market. We do not see ourselves as competitors to WhatsApp, Threema or other large commercial messengers. We are convinced that an open and free infrastructure that everyone can run is much better than a centralized communication system. With KandruIM you can stay in touch with your friends
- completely independent of any commercial interests. We only store most necessary data and do not analyze your conversations. Privacy is very important for us!
After installing our free application, you can directly create an account or log in with an existing account. Write down the combination of user name and password because we can not grant you access to your account without this information.

Since KandruIM to 100% based on Conversations (XMPP, open source), we can offer you the following features:

- end to end encryption
- send pictures / videos
- read notifications
- storage of your message history in an archive for a short time (offline messages, sync for multiple devices)

Love this app, no problem at all

Really cool software, definitely the best one I've tried. I only have two issues with this: 1) I can't figure out how to turn off the application while WiFi is on. I really liked xabber's behavior that when the messenger is not in the running app list (you know, the one on the left hw button), all accounts are offline. 2) It'd be nice to have an option to completely ignore messages outside contact list. I'm getting way too much russian spam.

Works good but can't send any attachments. Says: delivery failed service is unavailable. But I can send messages just fine and receive. Is this a bug?

Updated review: now locked to a specific server. Good, thanks. Old review: Why make a for-free version of Conversations? Yes you can do it, it's legal but will make it impossible for the author of Conversations to keep working on improving the client and xmpp in general. What do YOU bring to the table as an improvement? This is really low, YOU should be ashamed of yourself. What would be okey is if you'd lock this Conversations fork to your own xmpp service, see config.java on how to do that.

For now 5, just installed it and it's same as Conversations messenger, only difference is free way of distribution. Can you guys also provide source code?

An old fork of Conversations. Code hasn't been updated for quite some time and it's not entirely clear why this project forked at all, just made 'some' changes...

Brilliant, all is working, maybe gui theming could be more flexible....
