    when I used IRC i used thelounge. it was great as an IRC client. ive since moved on to Matrix but if i were to go back to IRC id probably use thelounge again.

    quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

    you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just the way you think about irc.

      Alternatively there is weechat. I haven’t tried them back to back so I can’t tell you which one I like better

        I used both for years but always preferred weechat with the nicklist enabled and at the top, so that it didn’t break urls or selecting multi-line text. Although the nicklist feature is moot for huge irc channels the ui and user experience is overall better with weechat in my opinion.

    Most of them (besides weechat-android and quasseldroid which use bouncers/relays) seem to have fallen out of maintenance; Goguma appears to be currently maintained and updated as a pure standalone client and would be what I’d recommend trying first.

    If you can host thelounge on your LAN and access it over VPN on the go, it makes for a very nice IRC experience.

    Otherwise, ssh (termux or whatever) to your irc host running irssi or weechat
