In order to play Flexible Survival, you must either use the in-built MU* client on the webpage or download one from a wide selection of MU* clients (preferred). The following list takes inspiration from a Wikipedia comparison listing; however, it truncates the list to trusted software and links directly to clients' websites.
For most users, BeipMU is recommended. For Android users, we recommend Mukluk.
Operating systems
The operating systems a client can run on.
| Name | Windows | macOS | GNU/Linux | BSD | Unix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atlantis | X | ||||

| Mudlet | X | X | X | X | X |
| MUSHclient | X | ||||
| Potato | X | X | X | X | X |
| SimpleMU[**] | X | ||||
| TinTin++ (GitHub) | X | X | X | X | X |
[*] While BeipMU is a Windows client, almost all features other than the map editor work well under Wine on Linux and MacOS.
[**] SimpleMU is only safely available via archive.org as the official site has been taken down.
Protocol support
Information about what protocols the clients support.
| Name | TLS | 256 colors |

| Mudlet | X | X |

[*] Potato is unable to connect to secure port 2002 due to attempting to use a deprecated TLSv1 protocol.
Additional information
The UI Guides section contains some useful configuration tips for clients contributed by players. If you know how to set up a client that isn't listed there, add an entry for it to help other players!
