Mango IRC is a chat client that has been specifically designed for Mac OS X. It also works on your iPad or iPhone so that you may stay in touch with developers, friends, or seek on-the-go support.

Internet Relay Chat

IRC is a type of real-time online text messaging or synchronous conferencing tool. This application layer protocol has been primarily designed to facilitate group communication in forums, and also allows individual communication through private messages. Mango IRC lets you connect to different servers at the same time. You may connect with secure SSL servers, and also use an IRC bouncer, such as ZNC, to enable the connection. You may join multiple channels simultaneously, and also indulge in private or individual chats.

User Interface and Notifications

Mango IRC’s user interface is simple and straightforward. It lets you access all settings and menu features without much searching. There is notification center support (Mountain Lion), along with support for keyboard shortcuts. To enable faster typing, Mango IRC supports IRC command completion. The notifications aren’t intrusive but helpful. The notifications alert you when someone has left or joined the channel. They also notify you when you have received a private message or your name has been brought up in another channel by someone else. In case someone mentions you, the messages would be highlighted.
