Project MAXS

What is MAXS?

MAXS (Modular Android XMPP Suite), a set of open-source GPLv3 licensed Android applications, allows you to control your Android device and receive notifications over XMPP. For example, you can compose and send a SMS message on your desktop/laptop by sending a command message from every standard compliant XMPP client to MAXS running on your smartphone.

MAXS is dedicated to users privacy and choice, that is why it's designed modular. This means that the functionality is split across components, which are standard Android applications. These components can be categorized in three types: Modules, Transports and the main component. Modules provide the notifications and commands, which are exchanged between MAXS and the user over so called transports. MAXS modules and transports are glued together with the so called MAXS main application.

Quickstart and Documentation

For the impatient Quickstart Guide.

It is also a good idea to have a look at the Introduction.

There is more documentation available at projectmaxs.org/docs.

Get MAXS

Direct download (not recommened)

MAXS .apk's, signed with the same key as the Play Store releases, can be directly downloaded from projectmaxs.org/releases. Use this method of obtaining MAXS only if you really have to.

Nightlies

MAXS Nightlies, signed with the release key, can be found at http://projectmaxs.org/releases/nightlies.

If you want to update MAXS to the latest nightlies you can use the installNightlies.sh script.

curl https://bitbucket.org/projectmaxs/maxs/raw/master/scripts/installNightlies.sh |bash
