The first release of HIM, the Hotline Instant Messenger: a late-90s AIM-style buddy list for the Hotline IM network. It starts out on VesperNet; Get a Screen Name on the Sign On window makes an account.

• Buddy List, IM windows, away messages and auto-responses, offline messages, delivered/read receipts
• HOPE secure sign-on, with ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption when the server offers it
• Buddy Icons (the Buddy Icons extension, Janus 2.0.16+), including BadassBuddy zips as a searchable gallery
• AIM-style smileys, door sounds, and Hotline servers as chat rooms
