A modern, IRCv3-native IRC client for iPhone and iPad — bouncer-aware, reconnects itself, and syncs across your Apple devices.
Mango is a modern IRC client for iPhone and iPad — clean, fast, and built to feel like a native part of iOS instead of a port.
WHAT YOU GET
• Every network side by side, each with its own channels, member list, and server log
• Full IRCv3: SASL, server-time, message-tags, account/away-notify, batch, chathistory, labeled-response, read markers, +draft/reply, +draft/react, +draft/typing
• Search-and-jump palette, slash commands, tab completion, mention highlighting, ignore lists, reply threads, and emoji reactions
• Themes: Mango, Rosé Pine, Moon, Dawn, Nord and more, with a visual picker and custom themes
BOUNCER-NATIVE
• soju and ZNC networks appear automatically, nested under the bouncer, and come online with it — no manual setup per network
• Manage each upstream network's server, identity, and SASL right from the app
• iCloud syncs your networks and settings across your devices
BUILT FOR ON THE GO
• Catches up via CHATHISTORY on rejoin — no missed-message gaps after a signal drop or an app suspend
• Reconnects when the network changes (Wi-Fi → cellular, VPN connect)
• Push notifications for mentions and DMs through your bouncer, even when Mango is closed
• Read markers keep the unread divider in sync with your Mac
DESIGNED FOR APPLE
• Universal app — one purchase runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Native split view, the system emoji palette for reactions, and drag-and-drop file upload
• JetBrains Mono bundled, or pick your own monospace
Mango talks to any IRC network — Libera.Chat, OFTC, Ergo — and to your own soju or ZNC bouncer. No account required.
Having used Linkinus, LimeChat, and many other OS X IRC clients, this one is by far the best one. Subtle colouring, integrated full-screen support for Lion (and no crashing!), and ease of use makes this my favorite IRC client. Even though there are no preference to set, you really don't need to set any - it has everything you need out of the box for basic IRC uses.
Good app, some oddities, but overall good.

Here's my suggestions:- Allow me to send chanserv commands on login somehow.- Move the textfield for a given channel to the bottom. Its really weird with it up at the top.- If you're in search with some text in there, and go somewhere else in the app there's some weird FirstResponder problems, namely that it won't change.- Add some color configurations. The default colors are a little hard to discern from one another. ie: i'd bold user names first off.Love the overall design though.
Like the Feel, Dislike the Bugs

Honestly, I've been using it for part of a day and the bugs are irriating. I close my lid with Mango open and upon return, Mac OS X / The Dock appear to not recognize that Mango is running and I'm unable to Quit through the menu or with Command-Q. I am unable to use the nickname auto-completion. Tab does not work and the 'X' does not actually close the dialog.I like it, but it needs some polishing. Good luck on it!

and trying to add a server , the drop down fields for adding the server are too large to access and and the server. then the program crashes after trying to close. Needs to have its preferences checked within the app for default sizes of menu items and windows. And test toroughly with the newest osx version.Other than that Im sure it would be a good app if it would work.

• See and edit IRCv3 channel avatars and display names on supported networks
• Use network and channel custom emoji in messages, replies, reactions, and Tab completion
• Preview video links with explicit playback
• Keep the interface responsive while large Soju sessions restore member lists
• Avoid iPhone and iPad composer stalls during formatted-text updates
• Preserve literal URLs wrapped in backticks or angle brackets
• Additional sharing, topic, layout, and connection stability fixes
