Igloo Download

The chillest IRC client.

Igloo is an IRC client for iPhone and iPad. Modern IRCv3, any network you like, and push notifications through your bouncer.

Messages, even when it's closed.

iOS gives an app about 30 seconds in the background before its connection drops. Pair Igloo with a bouncer and new messages still reach you as push notifications. soju works out of the box, and ZNC works with the znc-push module.

Speaks modern IRC.

Igloo uses IRCv3 for SASL logins, server-time, message tags, batches and away notices, plus the soju and ZNC extensions that make bouncers feel native. Logins, history timestamps and typing indicators just work.

Three columns when unfolded.

On iPhone Duo, Igloo uses the phone layout while it's folded. Open it up and your networks, the channel and the nick list sit side by side, just like on iPad.
