Palaver has disappeared from the App Store
Updated July 22, 2026
Long one of the nicer native IRC clients on iPhone, Palaver was quietly removed from the App Store in the first days of January. The website is still up; the app is not coming back to search results.
If you have it installed it keeps running, but the trajectory is familiar: no updates, an aging push relay, and one iOS version between it and the bin. Plan the move now rather than mid-conversation.
Where to go, honestly:
- goguma — the modern choice, $0.99
- IRCCloud — the hosted choice
- The full field: best IRC clients for iOS
