Simple Instant Messenger (Sim-IM) is a free software multiprotocol instant messaging application. Based on the Qt library (with optional KDE support) it is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. SIM-ICQ was discontinued for a time because its Russian founder Vladimir Shutoff left the project. Some time later a new development group was formed and the project is now reborn with the name Sim-IM: Version 0.9.4.1 of the software was released on October 21, 2006. Besides the stable branch, there is also a testing branch, currently in version 0.9.5, updated almost every day. Sources can be obtained via Subversion.

SIM supports the following protocols:

• Oscar - for ICQ and AIM support
• XMPP
• LiveJournal
• .NET Messenger Service (previously known as MSN)
• Yahoo!
