What IRC client would you recommend for MacOS? Currently i am using
XChat Azure.

Textual is great. So is IRC Cloud.

Textual is by far the best macos client. I hope it had a version for
other systems too.

I use Xchat Azure as well. Why are you looking for a different app?

I’m a huge fan of irssi, which is available via brew.  Lots of scripts
available, and really gets to the core of what IRC should be.

Textual, IRCCloud or weechat.

I use LimeChat, which is pretty cool. But it's all up to your
preference.

Textual is by far the best GUI macOS client

a good free GUI client is limechat

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RocketGrunt123 · 2019-11-22 19:07

That's actually a good tip, i use emacs a lot for my writing anyway.

Textual is really good but i dont think i will pay past the trial.
Limechat is not bad at all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RocketGrunt123 · 2019-11-22 19:10

The thought just struck me that i didn't really know what else was out
there or what people like to use.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RocketGrunt123 · 2019-11-22 19:12

I did check out irssi but i think i would have to study the
documentation a bit if i'm to make full use of it. Gotta say that i
really like the style though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

OK. It's just that I've never had any problems with Xchat and wondered
if I'm missing something.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Awesome. And emacs-mac-app (via macports) is, imo, the best available
option. Too bad emacs configuration approach is still stuck in the 90s
(if not 80s) and is pretty user-unfriendly. But, c'est la vie.

Lately I have been playing with [The lounge](https://thelounge.chat).
[It is in Github](https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge) and I really
like it. It is self-hosted and opensource.
