Goals

Swift is trying to plug a hole in the XMPP client landscape, and has these aims:

• Wide platform availability.
• Doing the "Right Thing" for the user, without configuration.
• Doing the "Right Thing" with standards-compliance.
• Targeting the end-users, not the system administrators.
• Being an XMPP client - not multi-protocol.
• Concentrating on the most frequently performed tasks.
• Never interrupt the user with something that doesn't need attention.

Features of interest

• Easy status setting.
• Easy room joining and bookmarking.
• XEP-0258 Labelling for secure environments.
• Stream compression for bandwidth-saving.
• Support for the new SCRAM authentication mechanism.

About Us

Swift is being developed by Remko Tronçon and Kevin Smith, both co-authors of XMPP: The Definitive Guide, long-time members of the XMPP community, and respectively former and current members of the XMPP Standards Foundation Council. They have been involved in various XMPP-related projects in the past, including leading the Psi project for several years.
