History

Originally released as SworIM, combination of the Nepalese word Swor (devnagari स्वर ) meaning voice and IM. with a temporary icon, it was renamed to Monal and given its new icon in early 2010 by Ayush Pokharel. It is named after the Himalayan monal[2] with the intention of adhering to the bird themes of other IM clients such as Adium's duck and Pidgin's pigeon. Along with the new name it adopted the Stockholm theme since the author felt Mac OS X users of Adium would find that familiar.

Protocols

Monal supports the following protocols:

gollark: Bees how?
gollark: ++remind 12h maths (1+3)
gollark: ++remind 10h maths
gollark: Ah, so you are NOT downloading the lyricly videoids.
gollark: I assume "tp1a" is Toki Pona 1A somehow.
