Product Information
What is Dino?
Dino. Communicate happily. Dino is a modern, open-source desktop chat client focused on delivering a clean, reliable Jabber/XMPP experience with privacy in mind.
Encrypted. Stay private. Dino is secure by default: your chats never leave your computer unencrypted. With OMEMO or OpenPGP enabled, only you and your chat partner can read messages—not even server admins.
Enhance privacy by disabling read receipts and typing notifications globally or per-contact.
Free software. View the source. As open-source, anyone can inspect or modify Dino. No need to trust a single company. Developed by a community on GitHub—contributions welcome via bug reports, translations, or pull requests.
Decentralized. Powered by people. Built on XMPP, a decentralized internet standard for messaging—email’s IM counterpart. No reliance on a single provider; use the federated global infrastructure or host your own server!
XMPP—A decentralized messaging protocol
XMPP is an open communication standard, primarily for IM. Developed by an independent standards organization, it’s a proven, secure protocol.
Features
XMPP’s “X” stands for “extensible,” meaning core features expand via transparent updates from the non-profit XMPP Standards Foundation. Not all clients implement every feature (e.g., IoT). Dino complies with the official XMPP Compliance Suite 2016.
