IRC Clients

IRCv3 capable clients are strongly recommended for accessing our network, but any IRC client that supports direct SSL connection and SASL auth is supported.

Mobile clients

For Android, Goguma is well supported and recommended. It can be installed easily for free via F-Droid.

Goguma can also be found on the Apple store for iOS.

Please let us know if you have other good suggestions.

Web-clients

We offer unauthenticated access via an easy to use KiwiIRC webclient that also supports IRCv3 history. This is ideal if you want to share a link to a channel somewhere externally like this: https://irc.f-hub.org/kiwiirc/#support.

You can also use our Gamja client for the more authentic IRC experience.

Desktop clients

Sadly there are not a lot of desktop IRC clients that support the advanced IRCv3 features already. But if the client supports ZNC bouncers, that gives at least partial functionality.

For TUI clients Senpai is a good choice as it supports many modern IRCv3 features.

XMPP and Matrix clients

Since our IRC network offers first-party gateways for XMPP and Matrix, you can also use any client for these federated networks to connect with your external account from another server. For XMPP we recommend using the cross-platform desktop client Gajim.
