Trillian equivalent for Mac?

Post by kheegster »

I wanted to install Trillian on my new MacBook, but it seems that Trillian isn't available for Macs. Are there any good equivalents for Trillian that are Mac compatible?

(I did a quick search but didn't find any threads that answered my question...)

If you want to compile it yourself (and hence not gaurentee that it'll work) you can try Gaim (not to be confused with the adware company). Your best bet is probably Fire. I haven't heard anything bad about it, mainly because I haven't heard much of it. Nor have I used it.

I agree with Seggybop and Xisiqomelir. Adium is essentially Gaim repackaged specifically for Mac OS X, and works quite well. I've used it for as long as I've been using a Mac steadily, which is about two and a half years.
