Adium is a free and open source instant messaging application for Mac OS X, written using Mac OS X's Cocoa API, released under the GNU GPL and developed by the Adium team. Based on the libpurple protocol library, Adium can connect you to any number of messaging accounts on any combination of supported messaging services (see further down for the list) and then chat with other people using. Adium for Mac for MAC Download. Apr 28, 2017 Adium is a practical and easy-to-use OS X application designed to help you connect to various messaging services such as Yahoo Messenger, Jabber (XMPP), IRC, ICQ, MSN (Windows Live Messenger), Twitter, Facebook, AIM.

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.

Adium For Mac Os High Sierra

There was a GNUStep implementation very long ago, but it fell out of date and was missing features.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