Ayttm is an instant messaging (aka chat) client that provides all-in-one chat functionality for several major instant messaging services from one simple program. Ayttm "Contacts" allow you to refer to several accounts of the same person from a single contact name, making it one of the cleanest and simplest clients to use.
Ayttm is the heir of the Everybuddy project, and aims to continue improving the program and addressing its shortcomings. Ayttm's primary goal is to provide a messenger which is :
- simple: Ayttm should work nicely without having to first go through a complicated configuration procedure. The preferences should be simple and minimal.
- stable: Ayttm should not crash when you use it.
- intuitive: Ayttm should be almost instantly usable by my mother ;)
- flexible: Ayttm supports multiple protocols and they should be supported n an integrated manner (common interface, for example), without limiting protocol-specific features support. Ayttm currently handles Yahoo!, MSN, Jabber, IRC, AIM and ICQ.
Ayttm is developed primarily for Linux but it is also available on BSD and Windows NT/2000 platforms.
