The vintage instant messenger, brought back to life. Sign on to AIM / ICQ and real IRC networks from one buddy list — with away messages, chat rooms, presence and that unmistakable late-’90s desktop feel.
Register a classic screen name and sign on to our hosted OSCAR server. Add buddies, see who’s online, and IM in real time — exactly like it’s 1999.
Connect to Libera.Chat, OFTC, EsperNet and more. NickServ login, a channel browser, and slash-commands (/join, /me, /msg) make it as capable as Pidgin.
Set an auto-response with the classic %n, %d, %t tokens, save your favorites, and let buddies know you’re gone without saying a word.
Duck into a room, see who’s here, and pick up the thread. The lobby’s always open.
Organize buddies into groups, star your favorites, and flip between Online / Away / Invisible. Green dots, door chimes, the works.
Door-open on sign-on, a slam on sign-off, message blips, VT323 type and cream windows. Pixel-honest, not a filter.
Presence dots, away tags, favorite stars and real groups synced from your list. Tap a name to start an IM; someone new says hi and you get the classic Accept Message prompt.
Same screen name, everywhere you sign on.
