HexDroid IRC is a modern, fast IRC client for Android that emphasizes privacy and security. It supports multi-network connections with independent per-network settings, TLS by default, and an IRCv3-powered experience including inline replies and DCC transfers. With a strong rating from 28 user reviews and over 1,000+ total downloads (1.1K in the last 30 days), HexDroid stands out as a refined choice for Android IRC users.

Pros & Cons

  • Privacy-first with no ads or analytics
  • Multi-network support with independent per-network settings

  • On-device logging and responsive notifications
  • Lacks explicitly advertised VPN or XMPP/Jabber support based on available keywords
  • Fewer cross-network features compared to some competitors with broader protocol support

Wow it works! Thanks for making it. If you know how to do this then you are smarter than the average bear. Discord is for children living in Moms basement.
