Web client
Our beautiful web client means there's nothing to install. Just login and start chatting with your team. No need to force team members to use IRC at all. Popup web notifications ensure you don't miss anything when someone mentions your name.
Integrated services and workflow
Grove supports GitHub, Bitbucket, Heroku and Pivotal Tracker out of the box and we're always adding new integrations. You can also post notifications from different services to your channel using webhooks.
Private messaging
Easily exchange private messages with just one other person.
Notifications
Native web notifications ensure you don't miss any messages. Type '@all' to notify all users in the channel or '@here' for just the ones online.
SSL
Grove supports SSL encryption for the website and your IRC server.
Inline images
If you post a link to an image, it will appear in the web client.
Email mentions
If someone mentions your name and you're offline, you'll know about it.
Access control
It's up to you which team members can access certain channels.
Powered by IRC
IRC is a popular communication protocol used by millions. With IRC it's easy to create channels, chat with coworkers, and send private messages — everything you need to stay on the same page.
... and many more IRC clients supported by Grove.
