LimeChat

LimeChat is an open‑source IRC client designed for macOS. It supports connecting to multiple servers within a single window, allowing users to manage several chat networks without switching applications. The client emphasizes keyboard‑driven navigation, offering a range of shortcuts for moving between channels, servers, and unread messages, as well as for sending notices and completing nicknames.

The software is positioned for users who prefer a native macOS experience and value fast, stable performance. Because it is free and open source, developers and hobbyists can inspect the code, contribute improvements, or compile it for other platforms such as iOS. The project is maintained on GitHub and distributed through the Mac App Store.

LimeChat’s distinctive aspects are its single‑window multi‑server layout and extensive shortcut scheme, which together aim to streamline IRC interactions for power users on macOS.
