Encrypted peer to peer messenger and Tox client for GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS.

screenshot

Current features:

  • 1 on 1 messaging
  • chat history (currently unencrypted)
  • avatars (gifs are also supported)
  • file transfers work, but there is no UI for them

Warning

This client is currently in alpha stage. Please backup your Tox profiles before using it.

Note: there are some performance issues with file transfers caused by using toxcore with ffi-napi. This causes slow transfer speeds and increased CPU usage (only during file transfers).

Prerequisites

Build from source

npm install
npm run build

For development you can instead run npm run watch. It will rebuild automatically on changes, but you will still need to restart the app to see them.

To make a release build run npm run build-release. It will create executables for your platform in build directory.

Run

Run npm run start to start the app.
