To use OTR, you'll need to download additional software with your IM client. If you use Windows you can download and install [Pidgin](https://pidgin.im/) and the [OTR plugin](http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/). If you use Mac OS X you can download and install [Adium](https://adium.im), a free software chat application that includes OTR support. If you use GNU/Linux you can install the pidgin and pidgin-otr packages.

We recommend the OTR client ChatSecure, which is available for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.guardianproject.otr.app.im]) and [iOS devices](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chatsecure/id464200063). Getting set up with using OTR with ChatSecure is pretty straightforward and should only take a few minutes. See the [EFF how-to](https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-install-and-use-chatsecure) for details. One thing to be aware of is that OTR requires both parties to have a consistent internet connection for the duration of the chat. If one party loses service the OTR session between them will end and no messages can be sent until both parties are back online *and* the session has been re-initiated. In short, OTR was no designed for the asynchronicity of the mobile world. For this reason, we recommend Signal as your main solution for confidential mobile messaging.

For a full explanation of how OTR works and how to set it up, check out The Intercept's guide to [chatting in secret while we're all being watched](https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/07/14/communicating-secret-watched/). As an added bonus, The Intercept also explains how to set up OTR to work with Tor so you can keep your chats both anonymous and encrypted.
