About

Chat on IRC networks from a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. It aims to be simple and fast, and you can find it on Flathub, the Snap Store and through Homebrew on macOS.

Halloy is written in Rust with the iced toolkit. It supports a long list of IRCv3 capabilities, including chat history, typing indicators, read markers, replies, reactions, multiline messages and SASL login. Questions are answered in the #halloy channel on libera.chat, and the documentation lives on halloy.chat.

Highlights

  • Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux
  • IRCv3 chat history and typing indicators
  • Replies, reactions and multiline messages
