Chatty is a chat client for Twitch as alternative to the webchat. It avoids the complexity of IRC but still provides many Twitch specific features, such as emoticons, user icons, nick colors, OAuth connection, admin settings, stream infos and notifications, keyword highlighting, a chatlog, customizable fonts and colors.
