Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core: much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms, making communication with your peers not only convenient, but also available everywhere.

And the best of all: It's free - as in beer and as in speech.

This application is the "monolithic" build of Quassel; it can be used on its own without setting up a core.
