Chatterino 2 is a native cross-platform desktop chat client for Twitch.tv, built in C++ with Qt. It extends Twitch web chat with multi-channel viewing, custom emote support (BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, 7TV), mentions panels, moderation tools, and streamer mode.

Use cases

  • watch and chat in multiple twitch channels side by side
  • manage twitch chat moderation as a streamer or mod
  • get desktop notifications for twitch mentions
  • use 7tv and bttv emotes outside the twitch website
  • lightweight native twitch chat client instead of browser
  • run polls and predictions from a desktop app

When to choose

  • you stream or moderate Twitch channels and need fast, customizable chat
  • you want a native low-resource alternative to Twitch web chat
  • you need multi-channel chat in one window with highlighting and mention tracking

When to avoid

  • you need a chat client for platforms other than Twitch
  • you want a web-based or mobile chat experience
  • you need features Twitch restricts to its website, like some Lead Moderator actions
