Quicksy

Jabber/XMPP with Easy Entry and Easy Discovery

Quicksy is a spin off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client
eu.siacs.conversations with automatic contact discovery.

You sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on
the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.

Under the hood Quicksy is a full-fledged Jabber client that lets you
communicate with any user on any publicly federating server. Likewise users
on Quicksy can be contacted from the outside simply by adding
+phonenumber@quicksy.im to your contact list.

Aside from the contact sync the user interface is deliberately as close to
Conversations as possible. This allows users to eventually migrate from
Quicksy to Conversations without having to relearn how the app works.

Suggested contacts consists of other Quicksy users and regular Jabber/XMPP
users who have entered their Jabber ID into the
Quicksy Directory.

NOTE: To enter your Jabber ID in the Quicksy
directory an one time registration fee is required.

Read the Privacy Policy for more info.

Anti-Features:
* NonFreeNet - you can't change the server where the accounts are created
* Tracking - uses a 3rd party service provider (Twilio or Nexmo) to send SMS as needed for authentication
