About this app

A modern IRC client for Android — free and ad-free

Connect to your favourite IRC networks, join channels, chat with friends, and stay up to date with a clean, fast UI designed for mobile.

Key features

Multi-network support: save multiple servers and switch between them easily
Secure connection options:
TLS support (recommended)
SASL authentication (server-dependent)
IRCv3 support (where the network supports it), including modern message handling and optional history features
Notifications for mentions/highlights to help you catch what matters

Optional local logging (stored on your device)
Optional DCC file transfers / chat (off by default)
Optional "Always connected" mode using a foreground service (persistent notification shown while active)

Privacy:
No ads
No analytics SDKs
No tracking

Your messages and account details are sent only to the IRC servers (and DCC peers, if you enable DCC) that you choose to connect to.

Notes:
Some features depend on server/network capabilities (e.g. IRCv3 features vary by network).
Background connectivity can vary by device and battery optimisation settings.

Permissions explained
Internet / Network state: connect to IRC servers
Notifications / Vibration: alert you to highlights/mentions
Foreground service (optional): keep a connection active when "Always connected" is enabled
