Poezio - paroli libere
Download latest (0.14)About
Poezio is a free console XMPP client (the protocol on which the Jabber IM network is built).
Its goal is to let you connect very easily (no account creation needed) to the network and join various chatrooms, immediately. It tries to look like the most famous IRC clients (weechat, irssi, etc). Many commands are identical and you won't be lost if you already know these clients. Configuration can be made in a configuration file or directly from the client.
You'll find the light, fast, geeky and anonymous spirit of IRC while using a powerful, standard and open protocol.
Features
TLS, OMEMO, always chat with encryption.
Discuss on your favorite topics with your friends or strangers.
Switch devices while staying in the same conversations without losing messages.
Add the features you want through official or other plugins.
Fix your last sent messages.
Send and receive messages with colors and formatting.
See the writing status of your contacts.
Use XMPP without an account.
Download
The development version is recommended.
First install python 3.7 or above (and the -devel package associated with it), git, then enter the following in your console:
git clone https://codeberg.org/poezio/poezio.git
cd poezio
./update.sh
./launch.sh
Then, you can use ./update.sh to update the sources
and the dependencies, from time to time, if you want to
test the new features, and be able to report bugs to us.

FAQ
I've tested poezio but I don't like it, what can I do?- Explain what you don't like, on the XMPP chatroom or on the bugtracker.
-
Try an other client that you could like:
- Mcabber. A console client that does not handle anonymous authentication, but handles the roster and the MultiUserChat.
- Profanity. A console client started around the same time as poezio.
- Weechat. An IRC client, but it can handle XMPP thanks to a plugin (does not handle anonymous authentication nor chatrooms for now).
- Primitivus, the console part of the Salut À Toi project.
- Freetalk, a literal command-line client
- Other clients, not necessarily console-based.
-
Even if poezio is clearly a free (as in freedom) software, and
not just open source, we don’t want to forbid the reuse of part
of its code in any other free software. GPL is incompatible with
a lot of licenses and that forbids a lot of collaboration between
different free softwares. The zlib license, however, lets the code
be reused in almost anything, avoiding all the burdens of licensing
issues.
Of course that also means that poezio can also be redistributed without the sources, but we trust users to value their freedom and avoid any such version.
- It’s “poetry” in Esperanto. And the reason why we named Poezio like this, is because a lot of softwares/library/documentation/protocol elements are named after things from literature. For example Prosody, stanza, all the references to Romeo and Juliet in the various XEPs.
