Handle IRC as a bee does a flower. A modern, safe IRC client for Windows by BajuBesi Labs.

BChat 0.2.0 brings the everyday comforts veterans expect from the big clients, while keeping the calm XChat 2 look.

Highlights

  • Network List: 21 Popular Networks, each checked for encryption, one click to connect. Your Favourite Networks get their own group on top
  • Channel history: on networks that keep it, see what was said before you joined or while you were away
  • irc:// links from your browser open in BChat (it asks first)
  • Favourite channels with Join on Connect, and highlight rules like mIRC's (words, wildcards, nicks, channels, colour and sound)
  • Multi-line input with Shift+Enter, and a paste window that shows what a long paste will send
  • /np shares the song you're playing (off until you turn it on, music only) and can announce each new song; /sysinfo shares your PC's specs
  • Nick menu: Ignore, Kick with Reason, CTCP (Ping, Time, Version) and Slap! with a random line from your own list
  • Invite bar, Friends window with /notify, rejoin after a kick (optional), WhoIs on new private chats, and a Local page for your own address
  • Calmer buttons, sharper menu ticks, and a lag meter you can actually read

Update

BChat 0.1.0 offers this update by itself: look for Update after Help. It checks the signature and installs when you quit.

Install

Download BChat-0.2.0-setup.exe below and run it. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you: choose More info → Run anyway. Some antivirus programs may also stop it; see the README.

bchat-update.json is the signed update file BChat reads; you don't need to download it.

Free, no ads. If you like it: support BChat on Ko-fi.
