Or a software with similar interface and features, that I can use?

edit: interface: http://i.imgur.com/zCgOubN.png

features: basically a web bouncer, with possibility to attach from
multiple clients.

There's [Kiwi IRC](https://kiwiirc.com).

It's free to use (it's also free software) and it's the client that
Snoonet uses for its webchat.

It doesn't have persistent connections (i.e. bouncer mode) yet, but
that's currently under development and there should be news about that
shortly.

(Full disclosure: I'm one of the Kiwi devs, come say hi to us on
[#kiwiirc on
Freenode](https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.org:+6697/kiwiirc))

Looks really interesting, thanks for the heads-up, I will track that
project for sure.

I don't think you're going to find something exactly like irccloud.
You'll either find web clients or bouncers.

Mibbit, qwebirc are nice web clients, but they lack certain features
like bouncing.

I really like ircloud.com but damn $5 a month for such a simple thing
is too much imo. I think something like $30 for a year seems decent
and I would pay it.

Yeah this is pretty much what I'm looking for too. I like the idea of
a web bouncer, but that small convenience is not worth $60 a year for
me. That, and it's all closed source and hosted on someone else's
server. ick.

If you have a root server or VPS with root rights you can install your
own IRCcloud with  Smuxi, see https://www.smuxi.org/ (look for smuxi-
server). The only drawback compared to IRCcloud is that Smuxi only
supports native frontends currently for Windows, Linux (graphical and
text interface) and Mac OS X. A web based frontend is planned though.

Hi,
You can try my opensource project, IRCBoks:
https://github.com/iwanbk/ircboks.
It is still in early stage but quite stable (with freenode) for weeks.
It also support access from multiple browser. Android app is planned
but not in high priority.
