IRCCloud
An IRC client for group chat with teams, friends and communities, available on web and iOS
IRCCloud is an IRC client that keeps a connection to IRC servers active even when the browser is closed or the computer is offline, so messages are available when the user returns. It works across the web and native iOS and Android apps, with message history and read state synchronized between devices. It can connect to any IRC server, Slack workspaces, or a private hosted IRC server, and it also provides a bouncer interface for use with existing IRC clients.
Features include public and private channels, one-to-one conversations, file sharing by drag and drop, text and code snippets, embedded videos, images, GIFs and social media links, emoji, and profile pictures. The hosted server adds reply threading, message editing, reactions and typing indicators. The service is available in Free, Solo and Team editions, with monthly or annual billing; the Team plan is priced per user and includes a private hosted IRC server, unlimited IRC connections, Slack workspace connections, bouncer access, passworded server access, unlimited file sharing and priority support. The Free plan includes two IRC connections, limited inactive connection time and 100MB of file sharing, while Solo adds permanent inactive connections, unlimited connections and full history export.
