edit IRC and SILC Client for Mac OS X

Colloquy is an open-source IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) client for Mac OS X. Unlike other Mac-based IRC clients, which tend to be poorly accented Windows ports, Colloquy is built to adhere to the Mac OS X interface conventions, giving it the look and feel of a quality Mac application.

In addition to appearance, Colloquy offers built-in functions not always found on other Mac IRC clients. These include:

  • Use of Mac OS X's automatic type-as-you-go spell check
  • Applescript support for easy scripting
  • Extendability through plugins
  • Buddy lists to keep track of your IRC friends
  • Customized emoticon lists
  • The ability to chat on multiple servers at once
  • Transcripts features to keep track of conversations
  • And much more.

The website also offers a list of plugins and scripts to download for Colloquy as well as a support and development wiki to keep track of new information, discuss, collaborate or exchange source code and ideas to help make Colloquy better.
