KoreChat is a web-based IRC client you host yourself. Open a browser, connect to your networks, and chat — no desktop app, no configuration files, no third-party service involved.
Under the hood it keeps persistent upstream connections to your IRC networks, so closing the browser tab doesn’t disconnect you. When you come back, your history is waiting. It speaks IRCv3 with 15+ capabilities — server-time, message tags, SASL, chat history replay, and more.
Multiple users can share a single instance, each with their own networks and logs. Message logs are searchable and exportable. An admin panel handles user management and connection monitoring. The frontend is a React SPA with PWA support, so it can be pinned to your home screen and used like a native app.
The full stack runs with a single docker compose up.
