Dino
Dino is a modern open-source chat client for the desktop, with recent versions working on small screens for mobile. It focuses on providing a clean and reliable Jabber/XMPP experience while having your privacy in mind.
Scale to fit:
Phone Compatibility:
2 of 5 Points (Debian repository), 4 of 5 Points (libadwaita builds & libhandy build)
A version with libadwaita support is under development: https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/178#issuecomment-981101970
An early version of the libadwaita build is available in the Debian Experimental repository.
Libhandy was dropped in favor of libadwaita, but Vagrant still has a libhandy build in their repository which may be more stable currently.
All currently available builds lack audible notifications. You can compile it with a specific flag, but it will not honor Phosh's notification settings. You'll have to mute your phone all together to silence Dino.
