Mac IRC clients are all grown up and have entered the new era of free cloud computing and the Mac App Store. Most apps in this list are free or just a few dollars. This is a radical change from just a few years ago, when the best apps were shareware worth $30 or more. All of these apps are stable and usable, and that reflects not only the multi-year track record of these particular programs, but the overall maturity of IRC itself.

## [Colloquy 2.4](http://colloquy.info/)

Open source freeware, available for Mac OS X and iOS. Good for novices and advanced users alike. They've been around since 2004 or so, and have grown from a lightweight client into a stable, full-featured one that supports not just IRC but also SILC and ICB. This is more than most users will need, as you can transfer files, chat on multiple networks, plaster your screen with mIRC colors, and handle scripting via Applescript.

## X11 (Graphical)

## Halloy

[Halloy](/clients/cross/halloy.html) is an open-source graphical IRC client written in Rust. It aims to provide a simple and fast client for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms.

### XChat and HexChat
XChat is easily the most popular of the X11 clients - it's lightweight, scriptable in multiple languages, and has sensible defaults. HexChat originally sprung out of the controversy surrounding the decision of XChat's primary developer to charge for Windows builds of the software, the source of which is free software covered under GPL. Originally an unofficial Windows port stemming from the XChat on Windows shareware controversy, HexChat became a fork in its own right, and is now offered on Unix/Linux systems as well as Windows. HexChat has become the more actively developed of the two, with frequent releases and new features.


### Konversation
Konversation is the default choice out of the two IRC clients shipped with the KDE desktop.


### ChatZilla

Using the same framework that powers Firefox and SeaMonkey as it's runtime, ChatZilla is portable to any operating system where Firefox or SeaMonkey can run. It provides a very clean, modern interface, and can be customized extensively with CSS and JavaScript.
