  • Always-on & multi-user

    Stays connected to IRC on your behalf and keeps full message history, so you reattach from any browser — desktop or mobile — right where you left off.

  • Full history & search

    Every message is stored and searchable. Auto-away triggers when your last client disconnects, and smart notifications fire on highlights, as web push in the browser and native push in the iOS and Android apps.

  • Modern conveniences

    Peer presence, automatic nick regain, join/part summarization, tab completion, drafts, saved messages, image uploads, and a searchable channel browser.

  • Customizable & installable

    A retro terminal-style interface with 40+ settings, installable as a PWA on your phone, Mac, or PC.
