Conversations

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Conversations provides a Jabber/XMPP client for Android that supports end-to-end encryption, multi-device synchronization, group chats, media transfer, and is open-source under GPLv3.

Target Customer

Android smartphone users and organizations seeking a federated XMPP messaging solution with encryption and open-source transparency; individuals who want to self-host or use conversations.im as their server.

Key Differentiator

Open-source GPLv3 Android XMPP client with built-in OMEMO/OpenPGP end-to-end encryption, multi-device message synchronization (Carbons and history loading), offline-friendly features via stream management, and federation with other XMPP servers. Also supports easy domain/server hosting and self-hosting options.

Implementation Timeline

Not explicitly stated. The app is available on Google Play and open-source code is on Codeberg; deploying on your own server or domain hosting may require additional setup time depending on infrastructure and familiarity with Prosody/eJabberd.

Pain Points

1Need for privacy and end-to-end encryption in messaging (OMEMO/OpenPGP).
2Desire to synchronize messages across multiple devices without losing history.
3Mobile battery efficiency while maintaining a persistent XMPP connection.

Key Features

1End-to-end encryption via OMEMO (and OpenPGP for compatibility).
2Multi-device synchronization using XEP-0280 (Message Carbons) and XEP-0313 (Message Archive Management).
3Group chats with profile pictures and contact avatars.
4Media/file transfer and image embedding within chats, plus read/delivery receipts (XEP-0333, XEP-0184).
5Federation with XMPP servers; ability to run your own server (conversations.im) and domain hosting; TLS encryption.
