Linkinus
Current Version: 2.1.2 (January 22, 2010)
Linkinus is an advanced IRC client for Mac OS X whose main draw is a clean, modern interface that is simple to use. Features include:
- Complete OS X integration and Aqua look-and-feel
- Interface/Agent architecture (allows detaching)
- Rules defining specific IRC behavior
- Dynamic content display with Styles
- Cross-session history capabilities
- Automated flood protection
- Aliases, Shortcuts, Highlights
- Cocoa Plug-ins, AppleScripts, and more.
While other Mac IRC clients may be:
- Inelegant and clunky, lacking many of the amenities of other Mac OS X apps (visual preferences, for instance)
- Very buggy
- Lacking a GUI
- So customizable that they just fall apart
. . . Linkinus aims to be none of these things, which is a worthy goal.
Linkinus 2.1.2 adds/changes the following:
- Performance improvements
- Network picker, channel list and ban list now offer both icon and list view styles
