NULVEX
Bela Crkva, Serbia
What it is
NULVEX is described on its supplied site as AndroidIRCx, an IRC client for Android. It supports simultaneous connections to multiple networks and servers, channels, private messages, and automatic failover between servers. The listed protocol tools include IRCv3 capability negotiation, SASL server login, and DCC file transfers and chat. Direct messages and channels are described as end-to-end encrypted with key verification, while IRC server connections can use SSL/TLS. For connections through proxies, the app lists SOCKS5, HTTP CONNECT, and Tor, configurable per network or globally. A built-in JavaScript engine supports event hooks, custom commands, and timers; scripting time can be earned through rewarded ads or made unlimited with a Pro purchase. Other features include Bouncer/ZNC integration, a services panel for NickServ, ChanServ, HostServ, and OperServ, biometric or PIN locking, and encrypted backup and restore. The project is open source under GPL-3.0. Google Play and direct APK downloads are listed, and Android 7.0 or higher is required; Android 11 or higher is recommended. Note that Google Play describes NULVEX as an encrypted notes vault, unlike the IRC client described by the supplied site.
