Blink is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) client distributed under the Blink license (GNU GPLv3 with the exception of possibility to include Proprietary software modules for commercial purpose) [3][4]
The software is written in Python for Cocoa, and lately it was ported to Qt for supporting Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux platforms.
Features
Blink is based on the Session Initiation Protocol, and beyond voice over IP, its features also include video, instant messaging, file transfer and multi-party conferencing sessions based on MSRP protocol, remote desktop sharing using RFB protocol (VNC), and SIMPLE presence using XCAP protocol.
Privacy and Security
The Mac OS X version of Blink implements end-to-end encryption and peer verification for chat media using OTR protocol, audio and video media using ZRTP protocol (all versions).
