Adium is an open-source project driven by volunteers. From code to localizations or artwork, any contribution is welcome! You'll find us and our code on GitHub.

Notable Features

• Support for a wide range of different Instant Messaging services (see the full list). Based on the libpurple protocol library.
• A delightful UI with Tabbed chat windows and Themeable WebKit Message View chat windows.
