XChat (originally styled X-Chat) is an Internet Relay Chat client. It has a tabbed document interface or tree interface, support for multiple servers, and numerous configuration options.
XChat was initially developed in the late 1990s for Unix-like systems, with a graphical user interface patterned closely after the contemporary Commodore Amiga IRC client AmIRC. Support for Microsoft Windows was officially added in 2001, with the Windows build becoming shareware in 2004.
