CoyIM is one of the instant messaging clients in Subgraph OS. CoyIM supports the Jabber/XMPP instant messaging protocol. All chats are end-to-end encrypted using OTR (Off-the-Record) Messaging.
CoyIM is developed by the ThoughtWorks STRIKE team as a more secure alternative to chat software such as Pidgin and Adium.

When CoyIM opens for the first time, it asks you if you want to encrypt your configuration file. We recommend that you encrypt your configuration.
If you have decided to encrypt your configuration file, you will be prompted to configure the master password that will be used to encrypt your configuration file. You will need to re-enter this password each time you use CoyIM, so choose something strong but memorable!
To begin using CoyIM, you must first add an existing account from an XMPP network.
Once you had added your account details, you can connect your account. If you have successfully connected to the chat network, a green dot will appear to the left of your username.
