naim is a minimalist messaging and chat program written by Daniel Reed in C; it supports the protocols AIM, ICQ, IRC, and lily (CMC). Unlike most messaging clients, it is not graphical; it runs from the console using the ncurses library. naim is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

naim is a multiplatform program. While it is primarily aimed at Unix-like systems (and is in fact distributed with several flavors of BSD and Linux), it can be made to work on a wide variety of systems including Microsoft Windows through the cygwin project.

naim uses the AOL instant messenger TOC protocol instead of the OSCAR protocol. This means naim lacks some features other instant messaging services have. For example, earlier versions of naim lacked the ability to check other people's away messages, though the latest version of TOC and naim now support this feature.
