It has been superseded by https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/chatty_macos.
Being a fan of Chatty myself, I wanted it to be a bit more Mac-like on macOS. The main goal was to create a self-contained app that doesn't require external 3rd party software/runtimes.
Since I don't speak Java I won't be coding new features besides making little changes here and there.

This is Chatty as you know and like it, but with a few additions:
- packaged as native macOS app, signed & notarized
- includes Java Runtime
- includes Python to power the included Streamlink
In essence: you don't need to have Java installed to run Chatty and you can watch Streams as long as you have IINA or VLC in your /Applications folder.
Check the releases page!
You can build the app yourself using macos/build.sh. At this time, the only available documentation about the build process is the script itself.
This wouldn't have been possible without the work of other people. Thank you:
- tduva and all people contributing to Chatty
- chrippa and all people who have contributed to Livestreamer
- all people contributing to Streamlink
- all the authors of the various Python libraries pulled in as dependencies
