Chatty

Chatty: A full-featured Twitch chat client that allows simultaneous channel connections and enables you to communicate with other users outside your browser

Twitch is the most popular streaming services and it's visited by of users daily, with billions of monthly views. While the service has a very nice interface that allows you to view any stream and chat with any users, it lacks a desktop chat online client for those users that just want to be a part of the channels but can't watch the streams for various of reasons, being work, school or otherwise.

Chatty comes in to cover the missing piece by providing users with a desktop chat client for Twitch. The software also keeps Twitch's feel and features while keeping it very simple and intuitive. While this in itself may not seems like much, Chatty brings another thing on the table and we think it's the best feature - the possibility of running several instances simultaneously, allowing you to chat on different channels, at the same time. You can see this as a persistent connection to all your favorite streamers and their community.

To use Chatty all you have to do is grant permission to use your Twitch account via Oath authentication. You won't have to provide any password since you'll be able to grant this permission directly from your Twitch account without revealing the password to any 3rd party app. If you're wondering if all the channel specific emoticons and icons are ported to the program, then the answer is yes, this functionality is not lost.

If you watch Twitch constantly and you have several streamers that you like, we highly recommend using Chatty for your day-to-day Twitch communication.
