Hey everyone
I’ve been working on an open-source IRC client for Android called AndroidIRCX, and I wanted to share it with the community.
The goal was to create a modern, lightweight, and privacy-focused IRC app, while preserving the classic IRC experience. The app is actively maintained and continues to evolve based on user feedback.
Key features:
Real-time notifications
Optional app lock (PIN / biometrics)
Supports irc:// and ircs:// deep links
Multiple servers and channels
Reliable auto-reconnect logic
ZNC (bouncer) ready
IRCv3 protocol support
End-to-end encryption (E2EE)
Clean, simple UI with no unnecessary tracking
The entire project is fully open source, and contributions, issues, and pull requests are very welcome.
GitHub:
https://github.com/AndroidIRCx/AndroidIRCx
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidircx
Website:
https://androidircx.com
This started mostly as a passion project and as a way to keep IRC usable and relevant on modern Android devices.
I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or criticism
Thanks for reading!

Love seeing someone keep IRC alive on modern Android, the privacy focus and ZNC support are a nice touch. Curious what kind of feedback has shaped the app the most so far?

@[Danny Jay] Thanks. My client was inspired by spanish mIRC script called IRcap. So I implementing features from IRcap script in AndroidIRCx :) But my main goal was to made a client that I will use, and I wanted E2E Encryption. So I can share my key with friends via NFC or QR code scanning, and talk with my friend on my network, encrypted. I dont belive in encryptions of most popular encrypted apps, cause keys are shared online or via there network. On that way I share my keys offline with friends, but talk online :)
I got many feedbacks from clients, and when feedback is usefull I always implement this first, then I continue with planned task. I have a lot of thats that I planned to implement into app, and I hope I will do everything in Febuary and finally finish app 100% by my desires :D
If you have anything that you would like to see in app, I`m listening ;)
