Colloquy - IRC Client

A configurable mobile IRC client supporting several networks and rooms, message highlighting and compatible bouncer notifications.

Our take

Consider for people already using IRC

Connection commands, nickname completion and organized conversations provide a dedicated interface for established IRC workflows.

Keep in mind: Push requires a compatible bouncer, and historic network references are not proof that those networks or background behaviors remain available today.

What you can do

  • Join multiple rooms across servers
  • Use nickname completion, highlighting and searchable room members
  • Configure SASL and supported TLS connections
  • Receive supported local or bouncer-based notifications

Good for

  • Experienced IRC participants who can configure a server and understand its policies.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting a hosted messaging account, included bouncer service or end-to-end encrypted conversations.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 10.0.
  • Push requires a compatible bouncer, and historic network references are not proof that those networks or background behaviors remain available today.

Privacy & permissions

IRC servers, room members and bouncers can receive messages and connection metadata. TLS support alone does not establish end-to-end confidentiality.
