ircly

Chat with friends and family without handing over your phone number or email address. Pick a nickname and start talking.

ircly is group chat and direct messages on IRC — open, decades old, and not owned by any one company.

- Join public rooms or create your own
- Message anyone one to one
- Share photos, clips and GIFs
- Reply, react, pin, and scroll back through history
- See who's online, add friends, ignore anyone you'd rather not hear from
- Light theme or dark

STAYS CONNECTED
Sign in once. Messages keep arriving while the app is closed, so you come back to the conversation instead of an empty room.

YOU CONTROL WHO REACHES YOU
Appear offline. Limit direct messages to friends only. Turn read receipts off. Switch on two-factor. Report anything that needs it without leaving the app.

Photos and clips have their location and device data stripped before they upload.

Registration is optional for basic chatting. Registered profiles and Stay Connected need an identified ircly.net nickname. Use of ircly is subject to the ircly.net network rules, terms and privacy policy.
