Pesterchum For Mac

Pesterchum is an instant messaging client that offers you the possibility to chat with your friends in an environment inspired by the Homestuck webcomic written by Andrew Hussie.

The Pesterchum app features the original Pesterchum design but also comes with numerous other themes.

However, even though the packaged application still runs on the latest Mac OS X release (El Capitan) the project is no longer under development and has been this way for quite some time. Consequently, the developers no longer offer support.

By default, when you launch the Pesterchum application, the client will assign a random chum handle which you can change in no time. As soon as you connect to the network you can add users to your friends list by providing their chum handle.

A simple double click on a friends name will open a chat window, and you will be able to send text messages and even share URLs. Take into consideration that you can also join the channels that are listed in the Memo panel.

Naturally, you get to create new Memo channels and mark them as hidden to the public and invitation only. As a result, you can use Pesterchum to communicate with your group of friends without having to worry about outside contacts.

Pesterchum acts like any other chat client: you have the possibility to create groups, to add or block users, or to keep track of your activity by navigating the Log Viewer. You can also share hyperlinks or use smilies, even though the emoticons collection is rather limited

On the other hand, there are also features specific to the Pesterchum network: you get to share memo links or to submit new entries to the online quotes database. Pesterchum comes with an extensive list of moods, organized by category: chums, trolls, or other.

To sum up, Pesterchum offers you the possibility to join your friends on the network and chat individually or participate in group discussions in an environment inspired by the Homestuck webcomic by Andrew Hussie.

Since Pesterchum comes with numerous interface themes that are featuring both colorful and engaging designs, you can experiment until you find one that matches your mood.
