Jami (formerly GNU Ring) is a peer-to-peer communication solution, offering voice, video and chat in a decentralised and secure way. It is being developed by Savoir-faire Linux, a Canadian company specialising in free software.

The ancestor of Jami is SFLphone, a portable SIP/AIX software phone, also developed by Savoir-faire Linux. Jami retains most of the audio and SIP capabilities of SFLphone, while adding a Bittorrent-like DHT to completely avoid dependency on servers, and offering video and chat communication.

Additionally, Jami has a clean separation between daemon and user interface. The supported platforms are GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OSX and Android.

## Installation

Jami is currently packaged in Official repositories#community, with some third-party clients in AUR.

- Official GTK client: jami-gnome
- Unofficial Qt client, stable version: ring-kdeAUR
- GTK client, latest git version: jami-gnome-gitAUR
- Qt client, latest git version: jami-client-qt-gitAUR

## Usage

You can use the `jami` command as user:

    $ jami

It will detect which client is installed (Gnome or KDE) and run it. The daemon is launched automatically by clients.
