(There must be literally thousands of IRC clients. New subsection made for them, with a note on making your own (very simple!), Freenode's web chat, and a list for all the clients we might want to link.) |

Other clients:
* [https://tools.suckless.org/ii/ ii] is a file- and FIFO-based IRC client for POSIX systems in under 500 lines of source code
* [https://irssi.org/ IRSSI] is a popular and powerful text-mode IRC client
* [https://pidgin.im/ Pidgin] supports a vast [https://pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type= range] of different chat services in one client
* [https://riot.im Riot] has Matrix and IRC in one package
* [https://weechat.org/ WeeChat] is a somewhat popular rival to IRSSI, but contrary to its name, it has been known to use many times the memory and CPU of IRSSI

Somewhat related: [https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html Bitlbee] is an open-source gateway from IRC to many other chat services. It could be a shortcut to using these other services with your OS. It uses the same libpurple as Pidgin, but obviously cannot support images or video.
