Livewire

An alpha-quality native XMPP client for Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch, written in Rust.

Do you want push notifications? Also install Foghorn.

Features

• OMEMO encryption: End-to-end encrypted messaging via OMEMO, supporting OMEMO 2 and OMEMO legacy (blind trust at the moment).
• Private encrypted groups: Invite-only group chats that are always OMEMO-encrypted.
• Public channels (MUCs): Join and participate in public XMPP group chats, with member lists, mentions, and whispers.
• Rich messaging: Text, images, image galleries, video, voice messages, audio, documents, and stickers; replies; emoji reactions; message editing; delivery and read receipts with status indicators.
• Message sync: Your conversations are synced between all logged-in devices via MAM history, and messages sent while offline are queued and delivered on reconnect.
• Contacts & presence: Roster management, adding contacts, and blocking (XEP-0191).
• Push notifications: Real push via the Livewire Push Service, with a background-run fallback when push is unavailable (for Sailfish OS, requires a UnifiedPush distributor such as Foghorn).
• Account creation: In-band registration where the server supports it.
• Media handling: Download, cache, and display images, video, and audio.
• Mobile-data aware: Client State Indication when unfocused, data-usage tracking, and automatic reconnect on network switch.
