It's neither free nor open-source and it's cloud-hosted, but IRCCloud (irccloud.com) probably deserves a mention. Like I said, it's a bit of a different solution since it's more than just a client, but what I like about it is that it basically solves every problem a typical IRC user is likely to encounter:
- It stays auto-connected with no configuration.
- It offers a great desktop (web-based) UI, including embedded images, videos, tweets, pastebins, and more.
- It offers fantastic mobile apps for both iOS and Android, for both phone and tablet form factors.
- Kudos 12y agoWorth adding to this that with the mobile apps you also get push notifications of highlights (if you want), which is huge for me.
- BuildTheRobots 12y agoI got to meet some of the IRCCloud developers last weekend at EMFcamp. It's a fantastic app and a much more civilised way of keeping a persistent irc connection than any mix of irssi, shells or bouncers I've come across to date. The web interface is lovely and the android/iphone apps are extremely usable. Can't recommend enough :)
