Textual’s sunset left Mac IRC without a maintained native client, so Fredrik Blank built one out of Apple frameworks alone — real windows, split views, semantic colors, no web wrapper. It speaks the IRCv3 extensions the protocol has quietly accumulated: reactions, replies, typing indicators, read markers, redaction, and CHATHISTORY replay when you reconnect through a bouncer. Free, with TLS client certificates, SOCKS5 with remote DNS, and a sandboxed JavaScript API for automation.
