Chatterino
Follow Twitch chats on your Mac with Chatterino, a free, open-source desktop client with side-by-side channels, emotes and message highlights.
What is Chatterino?
Chatterino brings Twitch chat into a dedicated desktop application. It suits viewers following several communities and streamers keeping track of mentions: you can arrange multiple chats side by side in one tab, highlight or ignore messages using your own criteria, and collect mentions in a separate panel. Light and dark themes and support for Twitch, BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ and 7TV emotes let you adjust how conversations appear.
This entry links to the publisher project's macOS DMG for version 2.5.6, an emote-loading bugfix release dated October 4, 2026. Chatterino extends Twitch chat rather than replacing every part of the Twitch website. The publisher notes that many Lead Moderator features still require the website. Link previews are disabled by default for privacy, so that feature is not active until enabled.
What it offers
- Arrange multiple Twitch chats side by side within one tab.
- Highlight or ignore messages according to your own criteria.
- Display Twitch, BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ and 7TV emotes with light or dark themes.
- Collect mentions in the /mentions panel and receive mention notifications.
- Enable optional link information to preview image links, emotes and YouTube statistics.
Good to know
- Many Lead Moderator features are available only through the Twitch website, not third-party clients such as Chatterino.
- Link information is disabled by default for privacy reasons.
- The publisher no longer supports macOS versions older than 10.15.
