Project Overview

Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one or multiple clients can attach to and detach from a central core — much like the combination of screen and WeeChat, but graphical.

Key Features

  • Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Graphical interface for a comfortable chatting experience
  • Free Software under GPL

Target Audience

  • IRC chat users
  • Users who need a cross-platform IRC client

Quick Start

  1. Download from the Quassel IRC download page
  2. On first run, the core will wait for a client connection and present a wizard
  3. Add users: quasselcore --add-user
  4. Change user password: quasselcore --change-userpass=username

  • Distributed architecture with multiple clients per core
