IRCCloud appears to offer open source mobile clients, which is good. However, the server software appears to be proprietary software. To protect your freedom, you should consider using a fully open source IRC client.
Unlike most other apps, IRCCloud requires you register with an email, and premium features will not work without a paid account.
- Register with IRCCloud and login.
- After login, you should be asked to add a new network. If not, click on
Add a network
on the right sidebar. - Fill in the details:
