Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client.

Features

Quassel has a modern GUI with dockable nicklist and topic bar and customizable views.

Quassel is cross-platform. That means that it will run under Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Quassel optionally supports a stand alone so called core that can stay connected to the IRC channels. One or more Quassel clients can connect to the core and continue chatting where ever they left the network. That includes a kind of BNC functionality so that you can follow the discussions that happened during your absence.

FAQ

Why is there no close chat menu item?

This is because Quassel has a different approach to logging in and out of a chat. You can Hide a chat temporarily or Hide a chat permanently. If you hide a chat temporarily, the chat will remain active till you unhide it. If you want to remove a channel completely, for example because you entered it accidentially and it does not exist, do the following: Select the channel, right-click, choose Part -> Delete Chat(s)... -> Yes.

Why is it named Quassel?

"quasseln" is a familiar German expression for "talking".

What do the colors mean?

gray - inactive

black - normal

blue - there are unread messages

orange - someone called your name

green - other activity

You can change the colors under Settings -> Configure Quassel... -> Chat & Nick Lists -> Use Custom Colors
