Introduction

Jami is a free and private communication platform.

It’s Free/Libre, end-to-end encrypted, and requires no central authority.

Features include text chats, voice and video calls, screen sharing, file sharing, conference calls, and group chats (coming soon). Jami can also function as a regular SIP client.

Jami works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Multiple devices can be linked to one account. No personal information is required to create an account.

How does it work?

Jami uses a distributed hash table to connect peers. Jami accounts are asymmetric x.509 certificates generated by the GnuTLS library. Calls are made over the SIP protocol after negotiating a secure connection using TLS.

For more in-depth information, see the Technical Overview.
