Minerva IRC

Minerva is a client for Internet Relay Chat. Minerva IRC isn't the client to end all clients, it isn't a file sharing mogul. Minerva is a simple, yet powerful, client for efficient and flexible chatting on an IRC network. Some of Minerva's highlights are:

• Compact interface - Have all your channels in one window, or one window for every channel.
• Custom command aliases - Create your own command shortcuts using the built in command alias system
• Custom contextual menus - Define what you want on your userlist menu
• Active Nickname Autocomplete - Start typing a nick and minerva will offer the closest match.
• Custom definable message formats - Everyone likes their channel text formatted differently. Minerva lets you decide
• Text / HTML Channel Logging - Why should your logs be less formatted then your output?
• Individual channel settings - Every channel remembers it's own settings, so when you come back the next day the window opens right where you left off
• URL Tracker - Need a URL that someone said an hour ago? Don't scroll up, just look in the tracker.
• iChat Style Buddylist - Floating window that shows all your buddies on all connected networks.
