What's inside<br>Everything an IRC client should be in 2026.<br>Caps you'd actually use. A members list that doesn't choke at 600. Backed by a proper Swift engine, not a fragile shim around a CLI.

01 / IRCv3<br>First-class capabilities, not a checkbox list.<br>Capability negotiation, SASL PLAIN & EXTERNAL, server-time, message-tags, chathistory, and batch. Caps are state machines — tested with fixtures from the IRCv3 spec.<br>saslmessage-tagschathistoryserver-timebatch

02 / Networking<br>Several networks, one window worth opening.<br>Per-network connection state, per-channel unread, optimistic joins, real reconnect with backoff. Connect to Libera, OFTC, Ergo, your bouncer — same UI, same shortcuts.<br>Libera.Chat 3 channels<br>OFTC offline

03 / Themes<br>Five themes. Two modes. Never fluorescent.<br>Mango, Rosé Pine, Rosé Pine Moon, Rosé Pine Dawn, Nord — picked for sustained reading, not for screenshots. Vibrancy washes are real NSVisualEffectView, not faked gradients.

04 / Native<br>Native, not a webview in a window frame.<br>Swift 6, SwiftUI, The Composable Architecture. Transport on swift-nio with real TLS 1.3.

05 / Keyboard<br>Made for keyboards that earn their keycaps.<br>Jump palette, slash commands, per-network number switching. Designed first on a 60% keyboard, then made nice for trackpads.<br>⌘K jump⌘/ commands⌘1‑9 networks

06 / iCloud<br>One channel list, on every device you own.<br>Servers, channels, identities, and theme picks travel with you over iCloud. Open Mango on a fresh Mac and find yourself already in #swift.

Story<br>Same name, same citrus. Nothing else carries over.

Mango first shipped in 2012. Objective-C, OpenGL, written in a different decade for a different macOS. The original is still on the App Store — increasingly out of place on a Retina, Apple Silicon, vibrancy-everywhere Mac.<br>3.0 is a complete rewrite. Swift, SwiftUI, The Composable Architecture. A fresh IRC engine on swift-nio, with IRCv3 caps and SASL from day one. The legacy code didn't carry forward; only the name and the colour did.
