Chatterino

Chatterino is a desktop chat client for Twitch users who want an enhanced, customizable chat experience. It's especially popular with moderators and streamers who want something cleaner and faster than the default Twitch web chat.

You can download it from Chatterino 7 GitHub.

This is Chatterino with 7TV features

Chatterino 7 is a fork of Chatterino that bundles 7TV support — emotes, paints and animated avatars all render right inside the client.

Drawbacks

Chatterino does have its limitations as it is a 3rd party application:

  • No Pins
  • No Predictions
  • No Polls

Twitch has expressed interest in making these functions work with 3rd party apps in the future, so we're hoping this changes soon.
