Adium is only available on Mac OS X.

Adium is written with very Mac specific code—mostly, but not entirely, Cocoa. Porting it to another platform would require rewriting the entire application.

Read below which alternatives we suggest for each operating system.

Several multi-protocol IM clients already exist for Windows. We recommended Pidgin for Windows; it is open-source and free and Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols. Other options include:

• Trillian (commercial; free 'lite' version available)
• Miranda (open source; free).

There are some skins available for Trillian and Miranda which modify them to look like Adium in some ways.

Several multi-protocol IM clients already exist for Linux operating systems.

If you're using GTK+, we recommend Pidgin. Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols.

If you're using KDE, we recommend Kopete. Kopete even works with Adium message view styles.

But couldn't you use GNUStep?

We use Cocoa Bindings, Carbon, Quartz, Core Foundation, and Search Kit, among other APIs. These features are not available in GNUStep.

There was a GNUStep implementation very long ago, but it fell out of date and was missing features.

Look on MacUpdate to see if there are any clients that may work for you. Otherwise you may want to start looking at moving to OS X.

Audium For Macbook

Adium is a free and open sourceinstant messagingclient for macOS that supports multiple IM networks, including Google Talk and XMPP. In the past, it has also supported AIM, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Adium is written using macOS's CocoaAPI, and it is released under the GNU General Public License and many other licenses for components that are distributed with Adium.

History[edit]

Adium was created by college student Adam Iser, and the first version, 'Adium 1.0', was released in September 2001 and supported only AIM. The version numbers of Adium since then have followed a somewhat unusual pattern. There were several upgrades to Adium 1.0, ending with Adium 1.6.2c.^[1]

At this point, the Adium team began a complete rewrite of the Adium code, expanding it into a multiprotocol messaging program. Pidgin's (formerly 'Gaim') libpurple (then called 'libgaim') library was implemented to add support for IM protocols other than AIM – since then the Adium team has mostly been working on the GUI. The Adium team originally intended to release these changes as 'Adium 2.0'. However, Adium was eventually renamed to 'Adium X' and released at version 0.50, being considered 'halfway to a 1.0 product'.^[3] Adium X 0.88 was the first version compiled as a universal binary, allowing it to run natively on Intel-based Macs.

In 2005, Adium received a 'Special Mention' at the Apple Design Awards.^[4]

Audium For Macbook Pro

After version Adium X 0.89.1, however, the team finally decided to change the name back to 'Adium', and, as such, 'Adium 1.0' was released on February 2, 2007.

Apple Inc. used Adium X 0.89.1's build time in Xcode 2.3 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad,^[5] and Adium 1.2's build time in Xcode 3.0 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the eight-core Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad.^[6]

On November 4, 2014, Adium scored 6 out of 7 points on the Electronic Frontier Foundation's secure messaging scorecard. It lost a point because there has not been a recent independent code audit.^[7]

As of late March 2019, Adium no longer is able to support the ICQ plugin.

Protocols[edit]

Adium supports a wide range of IM networks through the libraries libezv (for Bonjour), STTwitterEngine (for Twitter), and libpurple (for all other protocols).

Audium For Macbook Air

Adium supports the following protocols:

• XMPP (including Google Talk, Facebook Chat, and LiveJournal services)
• Twitter^[8]
• Skype with a plugin
• Skype for Business Server (previously Microsoft Lync Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server) with a plugin
• Telegram with a plugin
• QQ with a plugin
• Steam chat with the 'Steam IM' plugin
• NateOn with a plugin

Plugins and customization[edit]

Adium makes use of a plugin architecture; many of the program's essential features are actually provided by plugins bundled inside the application package. These plugins include functionality such as file transfer, support for the Growl notifications system, Sparkle for program updates, and support for encrypted messaging with the Off-the-Record Messaging library.

Adium is also highly customizable through the use of resources its developers call 'Xtras'. The program can be customized by the use of hundreds of third-party Xtras that alter the appearance of emoticons, dock icons, contact list styles, and messages styles. Adium can also be enhanced through the use of different sound sets. AppleScripts can also be utilized to automatically alter behavior in responses to certain triggers.

Icon[edit]

The icon of Adium is a green duck named Adiumy. It is also the mascot of the software.^[9]
