Description
Watching Twitch chat in the browser, messages fly past faster than you can read, following several channels means a pile of tabs, and moderating means hunting through a tiny chat box.
Chatty turns Twitch chat into its own desktop app: just the chat, no video, light on resources, with several channels in tabs or split views. Login goes through Twitch's own authorization page, so your credentials never pass through it. For viewers who keep chat open and for channel moderators, it's far more comfortable than the web version.
It's a free, open-source Java program that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Multiple channels: tabs or split views for several chats at once, with Ctrl+J to join a new channel.
All the emotes: Twitch emotes plus BTTV, FFZ and 7TV, in an emote panel organized by channel and favorites.
Highlights and ignores: rules by keyword or user to highlight or hide messages, so important lines don't scroll away.
Moderation tools: click a name for user info, one-click timeouts, bans and message deletion, and a view of that user's past messages.
Channel status: stream title, current game and a viewer-count graph.
Dark theme and customization: fonts, colors and layout are all adjustable, with a built-in dark theme.
