Textce for Internet Relay Chat
Real-time chat
with real people.
An IRC client for open rooms and private messages on every device you own. No accounts. No feeds. No bull.
Before feeds, before likes, before the algorithm — there were chatrooms.
Internet Relay Chat was invented decades ago and is still running today. Textce connects you to independent IRC networks with the conveniences you expect.
IRC FULLY LOADED
How chat should be.
Nothing it should not.
Group & private, side by side.
Public rooms and private chats live together in one place. Messages send instantly with accurate timestamps, and every room shows its topic, member list and mentions. On desktop, split-pane layouts and keyboard navigation keep you moving.
Quiet by default.
Background chatter stays in the background. You hear about mentions and direct messages, and nothing else.
Control & personality.
Auto-complete for nicknames and commands. Light and dark themes, custom styles, text size and colors. Everything saved right on your device.
Networks & continuity.
Connect to the top IRC networks and beyond, with IRCv3 compatibility. One sidebar shows every network and room you are in, and an optional Session Keeper (also known as a bouncer) catches you up on what you missed when away.
Your nickname.
Claim a nick with the network and Textce signs you in automatically across devices.
Protected connections.
Use a network's secure connection option and messages are scrambled in transit.
Every device you own.
The same rooms on phone, tablet, laptop and desktop. Chat from anywhere.
