Cerulean Studios Releases “Trillian” IM Client for Mac

 

One of my favorite multi-platform Windows IM Client Trillian, is now available in a Mac (Alpha) version.

Trillian 1.0 Alpha for Mac –

This first public build covers important basic instant messaging features:

 

• Networks: Astra, Windows Live, Yahoo!, Facebook Chat, AIM, ICQ, XMPP, Google Talk, Bonjour, MySpaceIM.
• Contact list: identities, groups, MetaContacts, searching, drag-and-drop, inline renaming, avatars, service icons.
• Quick "click-to-type" nickname and status changes, including iTunes tracking.
• Standard Trillian iconholder and avatar display.
• Smart tabbed conversation windows (tabs on demand) with typing indicators, bubble view, emoticons, links.
• Login screen and support for multiple accounts.
• Basic preferences screen, connection manager, full suite of per-connection preferences.
• File transfers and a file transfer manager.
• Activity history framework – logs are being written to disk in standard Trillian format (XML, LOG).
• Support for most standard Mac hotkeys for flipping through windows, opening preferences, etc.
• Basic dock integration and badging.
• Auto update.

 

What’s obviously missing right now, and what are we working on?

 

• Social network “feed” integration (Twitter, Facebook streams).
• Mail integration.
• Many major preferences and customization options – including things like list view, list size, and themes.
• Group conversations.
• Growl integration, “Status Item” support, and a general notification framework (think Win32 system tray stuff).
• Activity history viewer – you can’t view your logs yet, and there’s no auto-history in chat windows.
• Voice and video support.
• Setting your personal avatar.
