About Chatterino
Chatterino is a chat client for Twitch chat, presented as an improved and extended version of the Twitch web chat. It runs as a native desktop application with downloads listed for Windows 64-bit, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. Development discussion and issue reporting take place on the project's GitHub page, and a wiki covers features and troubleshooting.
The client focuses on reading and participating in channel conversations: it supports Twitch, BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ and 7TV emotes, allows multiple chats side by side in one tab, and lets you ignore or highlight messages by your own criteria. Mention notifications, a combined /mentions panel, offline chat and Streamer Mode are also described. Link information features, which preview image links, show YouTube stats and preview emotes from links, are disabled by default for privacy reasons. No pricing information is stated on the homepage.
