- bIRC is a native Mac IRC client with native windows, toolbars, split views, semantic colors, and system notifications, not a web wrapper.
- It implements IRC protocol (RFC 1459/2812) and supports a wide range of IRCv3 extensions.
- bIRC aims to replace the sunset Textual as the best IRC client on Mac, with features like message tags, server-time, CHATHISTORY, reactions, typing indicators, redaction, and multiline.
- Supports TLS with CertFP, SASL, SOCKS5/HTTP-CONNECT proxies with remote DNS, ZNC and soju for history replay, and DCC with passive mode and automatic port mapping.
- Includes a sandboxed JavaScript API for hooks and commands, with no third-party dependencies for security and robustness.
- Developed by a sole developer as a side project; may be open-sourced in the future but currently not accepting pull requests or issues.
