Designed with ease of use in mind, Swift aims to streamline communications between users. Because it works on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), an open standard for real-time communications, users can chat among them even if they use different services. You can search for people on other servers and add them to your contacts list, exchange messages and files, set up conferences and more.

Swift is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and it is free for personal use. Downloading and installing the application is a straightforward operation and it should take only a few seconds to complete, even on slower machines. There are no special requirements you have to meet and you don't need powerful hardware to run it.

You can't create a Swift online account, so you will need one from another XMPP service, before you start using Swift. Once you are logged in, you can start importing contacts and chat with them right away. The main user interface is laid out like that of any traditional instant messenger. Contacts are displayed in a list, in the largest part of the window and you can chat with them on separate windows.

New contacts can be added by specifying their addresses on a separate window. If you know a contact's address, you can just type it in and add the person to your list. Alternatively, you can search for people on your server or on a different server. Additionally, the software lets you add the contacts to a new or existing group, immediately after adding them.

Of course, the application is not limited to chatting to single contacts. You can start new chats, to which you can invite multiple participants. What's more, Swift lets you keep track of all your chats and notifications. You can find them on the same user interface, on separate tabs. All actions can be performed quickly and easily, so you won't encounter any kind of difficulties, regardless of what you intend to do.

There is absolutely no effort involved when using Swift to chat with friends or co-workers.

Pros

You can use any XMPP account to use Swift. All actions can be performed effortlessly. The software's controls are well organized, highly responsive and easy to master.

Cons

You can't create a Swift online account.
