Linkinus was a shareware IRC client for Mac OS X and iOS.

[5] It has an Aqua-style user interface,[6] and allows Cocoa plugins, AppleScript, and Growl notifications to be used.

Linkinus also has other features similar to those of other IRC clients, such as multitasking and the ability to change between different user interface styles.

[13] Users praise its well-designed interface,[14] although some criticize its high price.

For example, a lot of functions are duplicated in menus and buttons, resulting in a cluttered interface.
