MacIrssi is a powerful, free of charge, open source IRC client.

MacIrssi is extremely configurable. Some things can be changed in the preference panel. Everything else is configured by editing the configuration files that resides in the folder ~/.irssi (invisible since it starts with a dot). These files are the same files used by irssi, so I urge you to visit http://www.irssi.org if you want to learn more about editing these. ot).

Remembers current command when browsing command history.
Growl support for private messages.

Links in topic field are clickable.

Automatic version checking. Thanks to M. Uli Kusterer for source code (http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/sourcecode.htm).
Fixed a nasty crash which sometimes happened when a message was highlighted.
Improved text search support: Find next/prev, find selected text, jump to selection.

Theme preview and selection from preferences panel.
Added confirm dialog when pasting many lines of text to avoid unintentional spamming.
