Pidgin is a chat program that allows you to connect to your accounts on multiple chat networks at the same time. This means you can chat with friends in XMPP and watch an IRC channel at the same time, or chat on Facebook Messanger.
Pidgin runs on Windows, Linux and other UNIX operating systems. Are you looking for Pidgin for OS X? Try it Adium!
Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks: Jabber/XMPP, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, and Zephyr. It can support many more networks with addons. Essentially the application can connect you to any network conversations that exist as long as you add the suitable addon (plugin).
The Pidgin application is constantly evolving. Traffic is usually frequent and comes from user contributions such as bug reports and updates in the code.
Pidgin is free and contains no advertisements. All of our code is open source and available under GNU General Public License. This means that you can download the Pidgin code and modify it according to your needs, as long as you publish the changes you made to benefit everyone.
