Bersirc is an open source IRC client that runs on Windows (Linux and Mac OS X ports under development) by utilizing the Claro GUI Toolkit. Our aim is to make Bersirc as user-friendly as possible, while still providing all the advanced features you expect from any good IRC client.

Originally created and developed by Jamie Frater as a free closed-source client (developed in Borland Delphi), it became well known for it’s friendly interface and useful features. In early 2004, Bersirc was purchased by Nicholas Copeland, who announced a new version of the client which would be open source and cross-platform.

Bersirc 2.2, our latest branch, is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
