Security & identity
Claim a nickname once, then sign in automatically. Credentials belong to your chosen network only.
Protected connections
Where a network offers it, protected connections encrypt your messages in transit during the whole chat.
Multi-device continuity
The same rooms on phone, tablet, laptop and desktop. An optional Session Keeper (also known as a bouncer) keeps your seat warm when you're away.
Room management
One sidebar for every network and room. Private chats sit next to public channels, with member lists, topic lines, scroll-back history and keyboard navigation between rooms.
Networks & IRCv3
Built-in networks with IRCv3, or add your own. Connect to multiple chat networks and join unlimited conversations with the same friendly interface you know.
