Ircle (sometimes spelled "IRCle") is an IRC client written by Onno Tijdgat for the Macintosh computer platform. The client is scriptable with AppleScript, can support multiple channels and servers, and up to ten distinct connections at once.

Ircle is shareware. Upgrades are free.

Tijdgat announced in December 2005 that extensive work was underway to update Ircle for the new iMacs with CPUs made by Intel. These (unspecified) upgrades will be backward compatible and thus usable on iMacs with older CPUs. However, development for older (pre OS X) versions of the Mac OS will cease. (A characteristic of Ircle development has been that the program has thus far remained usable on older versions of the Mac OS.)

Features and issues

Ircle is generally stable. Updates are not posted to the Ircle web site very frequently but the program has almost no bugs and it does not crash unless the user's operating environment is corrupt.

Ircle is one of the few IRC clients for the Mac that has tabbed windows (each window representing a separate channel or private chat). It is relatively easy to go from one window to the next by using keyboard shortcuts.
