Always connected.

Connect to IRC directly from your browser — securely and effortlessly.

Freakshells is a modern Web IRC client that connects over HTTPS and is designed to be usable on desktop, tablet and mobile. It uses the open-source The Lounge web IRC client as its underlying software. We operate and manage our own instance and provide user accounts, so you don’t need to configure anything — just sign in, join networks and stay connected while your public IP remains hidden from other IRC users.

Web Security

Connections to Freakshells are encrypted over HTTPS. When using the web client, your public IP is not exposed to other IRC users.

Always Connected

Stay connected even when your browser is closed. When you return, your joined channels and recent activity are available so you can continue where you left off.
