Trillian for Mac is a fully-featured IM and social client, with all the usual Trillian concepts you're accustomed to – connections, a connection manager, a contact list, tabbed chats – helping you easily migrate from Windows to Mac. At the same time, the design of Trillian for Mac respects the user interface of macOS, providing you with a seamless experience across your operating system.

New and Simplified Service Icons

Trillian for Mac introduces a complete new set of icons to differentiate IM services. Instead of colored spheres, enjoy handsome abbreviated logos representing each service. Icons are displayed on the right side of the contact list to let you easily see which IM services your contacts are on, including for MetaContacts.

Message Notifications

Easily see how many new unread messages you've received from your contacts, both in the contact list and in chat window tabs.

Connect to Many Services

Trillian is a great tool to connect various instant messaging and social networks, including but not limited to AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Facebook Chat. You can even connect to multiple accounts within the same IM network.

Change Connection Status All At Once or Individually

Use the connections panel to set all connections away or back at once, or change them individually under their respective menus.

Update Your Status Message

Simply click your status and begin typing right away. You can do the same with your display name.

Bubble View and Typing Notifications

Put the fun back into chat! Bubbles are combined with crisp separators, and icons are displayed only once to avoid needless repetition and space waste. Typing notifications let you know when your contacts are composing a message and vice versa.

Native Style Tabbed Chat

Using our tabbed chat window, switch between chats with a single click or familiar Mac hotkeys. Tabs also display useful real-time information including avatars, typing notifications and unread message counts. Tabs are designed to act and look like tabs in macOS.

Spellcheck Integration

Trillian for Mac is integrated with the built-in spellchecker and dictionary in macOS. No more typos.
