Grumpy is billed as a very advanced IRC client. It aims to take the best out of every major IRC client and leave out the bad.
It’s designed for old school IRC users who need to be able to take most out of IRC. Grumpy is currently a work in progress and is unfinished.
This is free and open source software.

- Very scalable and extendable, support for extensions.
- Supports all IRC standards and networks.
- Supports IRCv3 protocol.
