Polari
Talk to people on IRC Source
Description
A simple Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client that is designed to integrate seamlessly with GNOME; it features a simple and beautiful interface which allows you to focus on your conversations.
You can use Polari to publicly chat with people in a channel, and to have private one-to-one conversations. Notifications make sure that you never miss an important message.
Notice
Works on mobile since release 42. In release 45 it works pretty well - the channel overview does not fit the screen yet.
