Nimbus

Nimbus is a desktop client for IRCCloud, an online service that lets you chat on different IRC networks from anywhere in the world. All you need is a web browser! With Nimbus, you can keep your browser tidy and save some system resources while enjoying everything that IRCCloud has to offer.

Getting Started with Nimbus

When you launch Nimbus, you'll see the main IRCCloud webpage. The first thing you'll want to do is log in to your account. Creating an IRCCloud account is free, but keep in mind that you'll have limited access. There are also various subscription plans available if you need more features, especially if you're part of a team or enterprise.

Connect and Chat

Once you're logged in, you can connect to any IRC network of your choice. You’ll be able to see all the channels available or even create new ones! Nimbus lets you customize both basic and advanced connection settings. You can change the default port, use a nickname, set passwords for private servers, and even define commands that run automatically when you connect.

Channel Management Made Easy

The main window of Nimbus allows you to join different channels and send messages or share Pastebin files easily. Plus, it comes with channel management options like setting topics, downloading logs, and viewing members—all great for staying organized!

Personalize Your Experience

Nimbus offers tons of personalization features just like the web version of IRCCloud. You can switch up the layout and color scheme, highlight specific words, or enable desktop notifications. You also get to decide how you'd like to view different types of chats and embeds.

A Reliable Alternative

Nimbus stands out as a reliable way to access IRCCloud without needing to keep its web console open in your browser. This gives you better control over unread messages while also reducing the chance of accidentally closing tabs!
