Messaging
Adium
A free instant messaging app that can connect to AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, and more.
Ferdi
Get all your messaging apps in one place with unlimited accounts. Features include no login required, private notification, password lock, quick switch between services, and scheduled do-not-disturb.
Signal
Privacy is top priority for this messaging app, which uses end-to-end encryption. “We can’t read your messages or listen to your calls, and no one else can either.”
Skype
What’s not to like about making free phone calls with your computer? Well, it’s not quite as handy as an actual telephone. But at this price, it sure is tempting.
