Description from store

CIRC is an IRC client in the form of a packaged Chrome app. It uses chrome APIs to implement features not found in other web IRC clients:

* Connect directly to any IRC server - no proxy server needed
* Remember your nick and what channels you were last in on any device
* Use the same IRC connection simultaneously on multiple devices
* Scripting that syncs across all devices
* Desktop notifications
* SSL server support

Was a wonderful app and worked quite well...then Google decided to make it ChromeOS only and ruined any chance of my using it again...
Daniel Ratliff
I would really like to have the ability to save my undernet login and have it log me into the undernet upon connect. Still CIRC is a great app that does exactly what we all wanted for our Chromebooks.
Moike
No dark mode
David A Thurber
can not change font size or use acessabilties

It's simple and does the job, but lacks features and documentation. The developers Github page is void of any real info other than when they set this up and looks like they built it and lost interest or expected others to make it work.
Rena Cruz
Like the app but I'd like to see some notification added in. Audible or pop up.
Sasha “Sabïn” Juchna
Doesn't connect

This program works well, but I'm giving it only 3 stars because it interfered with opening my external protocol handlers--e.g., I couldn't open a link from Thunderbird or Quiver into Chrome anymore... If fixed, I'd give it 5 stars. (EDIT: Strange, though after uninstalling, the problem immediately disappeared, now after installing again to write this review, it is ok again--I'll give it 4 stars, but there is some condition that made it reject the external protocol)

Good, simple client. However, does not have file transfer support for Chromebooks.
Jack Manning
All around solid irc client. Love the simplicity. I Would like to have a night theme or one or two other color themes to choose from.
Logan Henrie
It's a great app, and does exactly what I need it to! Simple enough to get everything done, and avoid all the junk some of the other ones have.
Alex Askerman
Very under developed. Doesn't even open for irc:// links

Popup notifications are a step above the other clients I use, but clickable channels would be nice; also would like an auto log-in feature.
Jennifer Ordoñez
Works. Very very basic, though. I need something with some type of notification, either visual or audible. Ended up switching to a different app because of that. Edit: Switched back after I couldn't use ZNC with the other app. Functionality is more important than features, but I really wish this app had more options and features.
Nathan Prewett (Screwyluie)
it's a little too simple, but it works
Talhah Hussain
I keep on trying to launch the app, but it just won't open. Please fix this.
Aaron C
Works okay but notification settings would be nice. It's almost too basic.
Alexander Ivanov
Nice and simple thing that works!
Calliope NJO
It's the basic and simple design that I enjoy.
Paul Bogen
Alright IRC channel, unintuatuive interactions, no channel list ui.
Andrew Irino
This is really simple. For what it does it works, though.
Alfred Morgan
I like the basic and simple design. It's just enough to get by. I found out how to auto identify using this format /server <znc_ip_adress> <port> <username_znc>:<password_znc>
Judi Stutz
Needs to be made more user friendly, like with a way to exit channels and end /whois with a click. Needs a choice of sound on or off.
Anna Mecher
it is so bad
Aaron Shapiro
simple bare bones irc client.
Ronald Bartle
I find no circ anywhere after downloading/installing it!?
Sayed Iftekhar
Nice. However, settings are not easily accessible. Right click options can be added.
Yoshi Tanda
character set "ISO-2022-JP" not supported. and there are no menus to which character set is changed. :-(
William Welsh
This app works great! I searched up IRC and this was the first that popped up. It works as expected. Great job!
Henry M
Buggy as hell (at least on linux) - cant stay open for too long or the text area starts jumping when you move mouse from text area to rooms area.
Richard Hagen
Perfect except one little thing, I want to filter out quit/joind and left messages... Except for this its the best/simples client I have ever tried! Richard
Adrià Vilanova Martínez
This app is great! The best, simplest and most reliable IRC client available. In OS X there are very few reliable open-source IRC clients, so this is the solution. Kudos to the developer!
Barry Kaufman
Just wish I could launch this in a tab instead of a window. Not bad otherwise. If you need all IRC features though, you should get an actual IRC app
Jayden C
Extreme security risk! A poorly written, ugly, and uncustomizable IRC client. It launches from Chrome but doesn't work within the framework of Chrome meaning all of your privacy settings (tor, tunnelbear, etc) are redundant and your raw IP address is exposed to all. For people looking for privacy this is the worst IRC client I've found so far. It's also hideous, doesn't allow your Chrome theme to apply it's settings, and just generally looks like a wart.
Carol
wish you could blow up the font on this app...the print is so small in the chatroom i go to i last 10 min before i need to rest my eyes
Brandon “᛬ᛒᚱᚨᚾᛞᛟᚾ᛫ᛋᛏᛖᚹᚨᚱᛏ᛬” S
Works as intended. Simple, clean, fun.
Kenny Kant
Really Really needs to be able to put the interface into standard Chrome tab. Maybe I am missing something...
Mikey D
Great Chrome app. How do I turn the background black. White kills my eyes at night.
Michael “Slaine” Fullerton
Features were so limited.
David Bandel
No direct way to even launch the application. You literally have to come here to the extension page to launch the app. Doesn't directly connect to anything. Very very bad app.
Hayden Jones
Almost zero functionality...
Adam Labranche
This is exactly the kind of IRC client I want.
Peter Newman
Really promising, but I get "tlsError: Could not parse certificate list" when I try to connect to my server.
Star Light
It cannot get, download, the file sent from other people. So poor.
Aaron Brindley
A setting to disable notifications would be nice.
Thom Tiber
Nice IRC exention :)
Noneya Business
A bit rough to learn, but it's pretty good. My only issue with it is it can't seem to download files.
Shaun J
Great but it really needs more options, especially auto connect commands!
Simon Dann
Simple and amazing, would be nice to have some configurable options for auto inserting password for nickserv. But other than that it is a nice simple irc client.
Erik Lentz
It gives a TLS error when trying to connect to my SSL secured server. Documentation is no help.
