Quassel IRC is a free, open-source Internet Relay Chat client designed for continuous communication across multiple devices. Unlike traditional IRC applications, it separates the graphical client from a central background core. The core maintains IRC server connections even when users disconnect their desktop clients. This architecture allows conversations and message histories to remain available across different computers. Users can connect multiple clients to the same core and manage several IRC networks simultaneously. Quassel also supports a standalone configuration that combines the client and core into one application. Its interface provides channel management, notifications, and conversation organization. Built with Qt and available for major desktop platforms, Quassel offers a flexible solution for persistent IRC communication.
