Nimbus

Nimbus is a handy desktop client for IRCCloud, letting you chat on different IRC networks from anywhere as long as you have a web browser. It’s great because it helps you keep your browser tidy and saves system resources while still giving you all the cool features of the IRCCloud web version.

Getting Started with Nimbus

When you launch Nimbus, it opens up the main IRCCloud webpage, and your first step is to log in to your account. You can create an IRCCloud account for free, but keep in mind that free accounts have limited access. If you're looking for more features, there are various subscription plans, including options for teams or larger organizations.

Connecting to Your Favorite Channels

Once you're logged in, you can connect to any IRC network you want! You’ll see all the channels available or even create new ones if that’s what you need.

Customize Your Connection Settings

Nimbus offers both basic and advanced connection settings. You can easily change the default port, pick a nickname, set passwords for private servers, or even define commands that run automatically when you connect!

Chatting Made Easy

Inside Nimbus’s main window, jumping into channels and sending messages is super simple. You can also share Pastebin files if needed. Plus, channel management features let you set topics, download logs, view who’s online, and more!

Stay Updated with Alerts

You’ll love how Nimbus lets you receive alerts through the Notification Center too! This way, you'll never miss out on important messages.

Personalize Your Experience

Nimbus includes all those fun personalization options from the IRCCloud web service! You can tweak the layout and color scheme to your liking or highlight certain keywords. Plus, desktop notifications keep things organized so you won’t miss anything important.

A Reliable Alternative

If you're looking for a reliable way to access IRCCloud without keeping your web browser open all the time, Nimbus has got your back! It helps manage unread messages better and reduces the chances of accidentally closing those tabs.
