Simple Instant Messenger (SIM) is a free software multiprotocol instant messaging application. Based on the Qt library (with optional KDE support) it is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. SIM-ICQ was discontinued for a time because its Russian founder Vladimir Shutoff left the project. Some time later a new development group was formed and the project is now reborn with the name SIM-IM: Version 0.9.4.1 of the software was released on October 21, 2006. Besides the stable branch, there is also a testing branch, currently in version 0.9.5, updated almost every day. Sources can be obtained via Subversion.

SIM supports the following protocols:
*Oscar - for ICQ and AIM support
*Jabber
*LiveJournal
*.NET Messenger Service (also known as MSN)
*Yahoo!
