Revolution IRC

The next-generation IRC client
Revolution IRC Client is the next-generation IRC client for Android, made with
design and functionality in mind. Let's start this revolution!

This client features a modern Material design as well as many other awesome
features:

* Stays in background properly, even on more recent Android versions
* Store chat messages to be displayed after reconnecting to the server later
* Nick/channel/command autocomplete
* Ignore list
* mIRC color formatting support
* SSL certificate exception list
* Command list to run after connecting
* Customization: custom command aliases, notification rules, reconnection interval, chat font, message format, app colors

...and much more!

Please note that this client is not finished yet and may be missing some
features - if you find something missing, feel free to open an issue on the
project's GitHub page!

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.

Download F-Droid
  • Version 0.5.5 (13) suggested Added on Apr 25, 2023

    This version requires Android 4.2 or newer.

    It is built by F-Droid and guaranteed to correspond to this source tarball.

    Permissions
    • view network connections
      Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.
    • allow Wi-Fi Multicast reception
      Allows the app to receive packets sent to all devices on a Wi-Fi network using multicast addresses, not just your phone. It uses more power than the non-multicast mode.
    • run foreground service
      Allows the app to make use of foreground services.
    • have full network access
      Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
    • read the contents of your shared storage
      Allows the app to read the contents of your shared storage.
    • run at startup
      Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running.
    • modify or delete the contents of your shared storage
      Allows the app to write the contents of your shared storage.
