Tox: A simple, distributed, free, secure Skype replacement. Now alpha with A/V

Tox is now usable and has reached alpha (in other words, it is mostly working, but lacking some features, bugs might be apparent). uTox is a lightweight (minimal dependencies) Tox client for Windows, Linux and (experimentally) Android. It supports text chat, file transfers, audio and video calling, desktop sharing (both as video and as screenshots). It also supports text-only group chats (with audio/video being worked on). For more info about Tox and uTox, see the project links below. Windows updater/downloader: https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/utox_update_win32/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/u… Linux nightlies: 64-bit: https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/uTox_linux_amd64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ut… 32-bit: https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/uTox_linux_i686/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/uto…

ux_i686.tar.xz If you use an operating system other than windows or linux (OSX or android) or want to try other Tox clients, see this page: https://wiki.tox.im/Binaries Project links: Official Tox website: https://tox.im uTox Github: https://github.com/notsecure/uTox toxcore Github: https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore Other links: qTox Github: https://github.com/tux3/qTox Antox Github: https://github.com/Astonex/Antox Note about adding friends in Tox: in the settings area of uTox you can find your Tox ID, and you give that out to your friends so that they can add you. To solve the inconvenience of sharing long IDs, Tox also supports "DNS names", for example "groupbot@toxme.se". You can register your own @toxme.se name on toxme.se Tox is alpha software, bugs are expected. Feel free to post any questions or feedback or visit us on IRC: #tox on freenode.

Tox (http://tox.im) Secure, encrypted, instant messaging, voice, and video, over a distributed network, aiming to be easy enough to use to completely replace Skype. The core is a library written in C, and there are several different clients in different languages, help on any of them or the core would be great. https://github.com/naxuroqa/Venom (Vala/GTK+ cross platform client) https://github.com/stal888/Poison (Objective C OS X client) https://github.com/Astonex/Antox (Android) https://github.com/Jman012/Toxicity (iOS)

Tox: next level of Instant Messaging

The internet was made for communication. But talking with your friends, in a safe, reliable way, is much harder than it should be. Secure, FOSS communication methods usually suffer from obscurity, and are typically still centralized, forcing the user to trust a server or to set up their own. We think it's time that security and simplicity came together, available to everyone. Tox is an encrypted, peer-to-peer network for instant messaging, calling, and videochatting, one-on-one or in groups. Tox is a core protocol and API that anyone can make a client for. Existing clients are listed on http://wiki.tox.im/Clients, including: • a cross-platform GTK client (https://github.com/naxuroqa/Venom) • a cross-platform Qt client (https://github.com/nurupo/ProjectTox-Qt-GUI) • an OS X client (https://github.com/stal888/Poison) • an iOS client (https:

//github.com/Jman012/Toxicity) • an Android client (https://github.com/Astonex/Antox) • an ncurses-based terminal client for Unix-likes ( https://github.com/Tox/toxic ) The Tox core has been shared all over the internet by inspired enthusiasts, and has drawn the attention of many developers. However, the clients haven't received nearly the same amount of publicity, and their developers need help to bring easy, secure communication to the masses. And since the core is a simple protocol library with an API (and with bindings available for many other languages), you can start your own client too. If you fancy yourself more of a low-level programmer, help with the core is always appreciated: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core Developers are always present over at #tox-dev on freenode. For the API: http://api.libtoxcore.so/ Thank you for your time, - https://tox.im/
