The goal of Beem is to provide a full featured and easy to use a Jabber/XMPP client on Android.

Beem is under constant development. Releases are usually frequent and driven by user contributions, such as bug reports and patches.

Beem is free and contains no ads. All our code is open source and licensed under the GNU General Public License 3 and any later version. This means you can get Beem's code and modify it to suit your needs, as long as you publish the changes you make for everyone to benefit from as well.
