Commands

Clears the scrollback in the current chat and deletes the messages Igloo saved for it.

Clears the scrollback in every chat on the current network, including the server's messages, and deletes the messages Igloo saved for them.

Removes the current chat from your list. If it's a channel you're in, Igloo leaves it first, with your part message.

Sends a Client-to-Client Protocol (CTCP) request for [command], such as VERSION or TIME, to [nickname].

Examples /ctcp ExampleUser VERSION /ctcp ExampleUser TIME

Leaves the current channel with your part message and joins it again.

Example /cycle

Aliases /rejoin /hop

Invites [nickname] to [channel], or to the current channel if you leave it out.

Examples /invite ExampleUser /invite ExampleUser #igloo

Joins one or more channels, with optional keys, and switches to the first one. Igloo adds the # if you leave it out.

On its own, it joins the current channel, which is handy after you've left it with /part.

Examples /join /join #igloo /join #igloo,#other p4ssw0rd,s3cr3t

Alias /j

Opens the list of channels on the current network, biggest first. You can search it and join channels from there.

Sends [message] to the current chat as an action.

Example /me waves hello

Sends [message] to [target], which can be a channel or a nickname, and switches to that chat.

Examples /message #igloo This is a channel message! /message ExampleUser This is a private message!

Alias /msg

Sets modes on [channel], or shows the modes that are set. Without a channel, it uses the current one.

Igloo doesn't have its own /op, /deop, /halfop, /dehalfop, /voice or /devoice. To give or take op, half-op or voice in the current channel, use +o or -o, +h or -h, or +v or -v with a nickname. Half-op only works if the server supports it.

You can also tap someone's nick, in the chat or the user list, and choose Give @ or Take @ for op, Give % or Take % for half-op, or Give + or Take + for voice. Igloo only shows the ones your own status lets you set.

Available modes vary from server to server.

Examples /mode /mode #igloo +m /mode +o ExampleUser /mode -v ExampleUser

Changes your nickname to [nickname].

Example /nick NewNick

Sends [message] to [target] as a notice, and switches to that chat.

Examples /notice #igloo This is a channel notice! /notice ExampleUser This is a private notice!

Leaves one or more channels, with an optional reason. Without a channel, it leaves the current one. Without a reason, Igloo uses your part message from Settings › Messages.

The channel stays in your list. To remove it, use /close.

Examples /part /part #igloo /part #igloo,#other Bye!

Alias /p

Opens a private chat with [nickname] and switches to it.

Example /query ExampleUser

Disconnects from the current network, with an optional reason. Without one, Igloo uses your quit message from Settings › Messages.

Examples /quit /quit Bye!

Sends [input] to the server exactly as you type it.

Example /quote JOIN #igloo

Alias /raw

Marks every chat on the current network as read.

Sends [message] to the current chat as a normal message, even if it starts with a slash.

Example /say /join #igloo

Shows the topic of [channel], or sets it to [topic]. Without a channel, it uses the current one.

Examples /topic /topic #igloo This will be the new topic!

Sets user modes on yourself, or shows the ones that are set.

Available modes vary from server to server.

Examples /umode /umode +G

Shows information about [nickname].

Example /whois ExampleUser

Shows information about [nickname] after they've disconnected, if the server supports it.

Example /whowas ExampleUser

Bans [nickname] from the current channel. Igloo sets the ban (+b) on their address, *!ident@host, or on nickname!*@* if it doesn't know it. It only works on people Igloo knows about, like someone in one of your channels.

To ban a mask of your own or lift a ban, use /mode +b or /mode -b with the mask.

Example /ban ExampleUser

Kicks [nickname] from the current channel, with an optional [comment]. Without one, Igloo uses your kick message from Settings › Messages.

Examples /kick ExampleUser /kick ExampleUser Bye!

Bans [nickname] from the current channel the same way /ban does, then kicks them with your kick message from Settings › Messages.

Example /kickban ExampleUser

Posts your Igloo version and a download link to the current chat as an action: “is using Igloo [version] - https://get.igloo.app”.

Posts your setup to the current chat as an action that starts “is using Igloo”: your Igloo version and theme, your device model, its iOS or iPadOS version, your battery level and how long your device has been on.

Posts the song that's playing in the Music app to the current chat as an action: “is listening to [song] by [artist] from [album]”. If nothing is playing, or Igloo can't access your music library, nothing is sent.

The first time you use it, Igloo asks for access to your music library.

Alias /np

Sends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to the current chat.

Example /shrug

Sends the action “slaps [nickname] around a bit with a large [fish]” to the current chat. The fish is picked at random from a list of scientific names, like oncorhynchus mykiss, the rainbow trout.

Example /slap ExampleUser

Sends [message] in black on black, so it stays hidden until someone selects it.

Example /spoiler The butler did it
