[![Build Status](https://build.coopcloud.tech/api/badges/decentral1se/cairde/status.svg?ref=refs/heads/main)](https://build.coopcloud.tech/decentral1se/cairde)

> Cairde /ˈkɑːɾˠdʲə/, an Irish word which translates as "friends"

A terminal client for metadata resistant messaging built on the [Cwtch
protocol](https://docs.openprivacy.ca/cwtch-security-handbook/overview.html#what-is-cwtch).

This is a **pre-alpha prototype** and an *unofficial* community implementation
which is currently only ready for experimentation and testing. Please *do not*
use existing [`cwtch-ui`](https://cwtch.im/download/) profiles with `cairde`!
We cannot guarantee that things will not break at this early stage.

If you're new to Cwtch, this
[video](https://docs.openprivacy.ca/cwtch-security-handbook/overview.html#a-video-explainer)
or [the docs](https://docs.cwtch.im/) are a great place to start.
