qTox
Powerful Tox client that tries to follow the Tox UI mockup while running on all major systems.
This GUI uses code from @nurupo'tos ProjectTox-Qt-GUI, in particular the "Core" Toxcore wrapper.
However, it is not a fork.
Features
- One to one chat with friends
- Group chats
- File transfers, with previewing of images
- Audio calls
- Video calls (alpha)
- Tox DNS
- Translations in various languages
Requirements
This client runs on Windows, Linux and Mac natively, but is not build regularly for Linux
Linux users will have to compile the source code themselves if they want the latest updates.

Compiling
Compiling toxgui requires Qt 5.2 with the Qt Multimedia module and a C++11 compatible compiler. It also requires the toxcore and toxav libraries.To compile, first clone or download the qTox repository and open a terminal in the qTox folder. Then run the script bootstrap.sh (for Linux and Mac) or bootsrap.bat (for Windows) to download an up-to-date toxcore. And finally run the commands "qmake" and "make" to start building qTox.
OSX Install Guide
This guide is intended for people who wish to use an existing or new ProjectTox-Core installation separate to the bundled installation with qTox, if you do not wish to use a separate installation you can skip to the section titled 'Final Steps'.
Installation on OSX, isn't quite straight forward, here is a quick guide on how to install;
The first thing you need to do is install ProjectTox-Core with a/v support. Refer to the INSTALL guide in the ProjectTox-Core github repo.
Next you need to download QtTools (http://qt-project.org/downloads), at the time of writing this is at version 5.3.0. Make sure you deselect all the unnecessary components from the 5.3 checkbox (iOS/Android libs) otherwise you will end up with a very large download.
Once that is installed you will most likely need to set the path for qmake. To do this, open up terminal and paste in the following;
export PATH=/location/to/qmake/binary:$PATH
For myself, the qmake binary was located in /Users/mouseym/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/.
This is not a permanent change, it will revert when you close the terminal window, to add it permanently you will need to add echo the above line to your .profile/.bash_profile.
Once this is installed, do the following;
git clone https://github.com/tux3/qTox
cd toxgui
qmake
Now, we need to create a symlink to /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/
mkdir -p $HOME/qTox/libs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib $HOME/qTox/libs/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include $HOME/qTox/libs/include
Final Steps
The final step is to run
make
in the qTox directory, or if you are using the bundled tox core installation, you can use
./bootstrap.sh
Assuming all went well you should now have a qTox.app file within the directory. Double click and it should open!
