About:
Quassel is a modern, cross-platform IRC client with a distributed architecture that separates the core client logic from the user interface. This allows users to maintain a persistent connection to IRC networks via the core, which can be accessed from multiple clients simultaneously. It provides a full-featured and customizable chat experience, ideal for staying connected across devices.
Key Features:
  • Distributed core/client architecture for persistent connections
  • Multiple simultaneous client connections to a single core
  • Highly customizable interface with scriptable features
  • Cross-platform support including Linux, macOS, and Windows
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining persistent IRC presence for community or team communication
  • Accessing IRC from multiple devices (desktop and mobile) with synchronized state
Alternatives:
  • HexChat – A popular, easy-to-use IRC client, but lacks Quassel's distributed core architecture
  • WeeChat – A highly extensible, lightweight terminal client, offering a different interface paradigm
