Monal is a free XMPP/Jabber Chat-Client for Apple macOS.

• Apple App Store: Monal

At first, you need to type in your own Jabber-ID into Monal:

• Monal / Preferences
• Accounts / Add XMPP Account
  • Jabber-ID: <Username>@xmpp.jade-hs.de

Contrary to a popular messenger, chat partners are not automatically accessible in XMPP/Jabber. They need to be added manually.
