    Chat

    You're the mod. Use the buttons beside each message to delete, time out or ban. Cleaned up: 0

    From download to chat in a minute.

    No account to make, nothing to set up first.

    1. 1
      Download and open YappyChat

      A normal Windows installer that doesn't need admin rights. It keeps itself up to date.

    2. 2
      Log in with Twitch

      One sign-in on Twitch's own page covers chat and the stream player. Only here to chat? Tick "I don't need mod tools".

    3. 3
      Type a channel, press Enter

      Its chat opens with the stream beside it, or pick a followed channel that's live. Add more any time, up to 50.

    Pick your seat in chat.

    YappyChat fits the job you do there. Choose yours and Yappy will show you around.

    1. Spam wave? Shift+click the lines, then delete, time out or ban them all at once. Changed your mind? Undo all.
    2. Copy-paste spam folds into one line with a ×count. Click the count to deal with everyone who sent it.
    3. Every user card keeps their warnings, timeouts, bans and your notes, and says which mod did what.
    4. I'll point out raids, spam waves and a word you keep deleting. I never act without your click.
    How moderating works
    1. Your dashboard fills in while you're live: viewers, chatters, first-timers, followers, and what each mod did this week.
    2. Change your title and game, run polls and predictions, and switch on Shield Mode without leaving chat.
    3. Your mods can type /alert and it flashes big on your screen, even mid-game.
    4. Streamer mode (Ctrl+Shift+S) blurs chatter details and hides my notices while you share your screen.
    1. Every emote from Twitch, 7TV, BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ, with no browser extensions.
    2. Up to 50 channels in tabs, six side by side, and up to four streams above them.
    3. Only here to chat? Tick I don't need mod tools and everything for moderating disappears.
    4. Themes, colour-vision modes and sounds. Want me quiet? Hide me and I'll keep my notes for later.

    Everything you need to run a busy chat.

    A few of the fifteen things YappyChat does. Every one of them is free.

    Four live streams in a row along the top, with two chats below.

    Up to four streams

    Watch up to four streams at once, each in Twitch's own player, with your chats underneath.

    How it works
    Mod activity: each line names the channel and moderator, with the message behind it.

    Mod activity

    Every delete, timeout, ban and word change: who did it, in which channel, and the message behind it. Undo in one click.

    How it works
    Two chats side by side, with a highlight showing where a dragged chat will snap.

    Snap anything into place

    Drag a chat or the stream towards an edge and a highlight shows where it lands: beside, above or below.

    How it works
    Spam folded into one line marked ×12, and three picked messages with Delete, Purge, Time out and Ban.

    Spam folds into one line

    Copy-paste spam becomes one line with ×12. Click the count, or Shift+click messages, to deal with them all at once.

    How it works
    Chat with two highlighted lines: one mentioning the mods, one mentioning the streamer.

    Highlights

    Your name, “mods” and any words you choose stand out in colour, with their own sound, and land in Mentions.

    How it works
    A full-window alert reading "Your game audio is peaking, please turn it down!".

    /alert for streamers

    Your mods can put a big alert on your screen mid-game, like “your game audio is peaking”. Only verified mods can send one.

    How it works
    Meet Yappy

    A chat buddy who spots trouble

    • Speaks up when it matters: a spam wave, a likely raid, a word you keep deleting, a whisper.
    • Never acts without your click. Everything he says is saved in the activity panel.
    • Sits beside the Chat button, or anywhere you drag him. Hide him and keep his notices, or switch it all off.
    Hi! I'm Yappy. I keep an eye on chat so you don't have to.
    Move your mouse. He's watching. Click him!

    See it in action.

    What YappyChat does that browser chat and Mod View don't, in under a minute.

    The whole app is free.

    No trial, no ads, no locked moderator tools. Perks are optional and only change how you look.

    50channels at once
    6chats and streams side by side
    $0for every moderation tool

    Built on Twitch's official API

    No scraping, no private endpoints, no browser tricks. YappyChat talks to Twitch the way Twitch asks apps to.

    • Your login stays on your PC, encrypted with Windows' own protection. Twitch checks it when the app starts and every hour.
    • Only the permissions it needs. Extra tools ask for their one permission when you first open them.
    • Rate limits respected: when Twitch says slow down, YappyChat waits instead of retrying blindly.
    • Twitch's own player for streams, unmodified and at least 400x300, as the embed rules require.

    Questions people ask first.

    Is it really free?

    Yes. Every chat and moderation tool is free, with no trial and no ads. Perks are optional and only change how you look to other YappyChat users.

    Could using it get my Twitch account in trouble?

    YappyChat signs in on Twitch's own page and uses Twitch's official API, the way Twitch asks apps to. It doesn't scrape pages or pretend to be a browser. Nothing is sent to chat and no one is moderated unless you click it, or set it up yourself, like a scheduled announcement.

    Can YappyChat see my password or my messages?

    You sign in on Twitch's own page, and YappyChat gets a login token from Twitch, never your password, and keeps it on your PC, encrypted by Windows. Your chat, notes and logs stay there too. The perks server only sees your Twitch ID and name. The privacy page has every detail.

    Will my 7TV, BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ emotes work?

    Yes, all three, plus Twitch's own, in every channel. You don't need any browser extensions, and new emotes work as soon as a streamer adds them. More about emotes.

    How is YappyChat different from Chatterino or Chatty?

    All three are desktop Twitch chat clients. YappyChat is built around moderating: Twitch's stream player beside your chats, Mod activity with undo, spam folding, AutoMod in chat and Yappy's suggestions. Chatterino and Chatty also run on Mac and Linux. See the comparison.

    Does it work on Mac, Linux or my phone?

    Not yet. YappyChat is for Windows 10 and 11. On a phone, keep using Twitch's app, and send yourself the link for your PC.

    Can my team mix YappyChat and Twitch's Mod View?

    Yes. Everyone moderates the same chat. Bans, timeouts and deletes from Mod View show up in YappyChat's Mod activity with the name of the mod who did them.

    How do updates work?

    YappyChat checks when it opens and downloads updates in the background. A button appears when one is ready, and it tells you what changed. The full list is in the changelog.

    How do I uninstall it?

    Open Windows Settings, then Apps, find YappyChat and choose Uninstall. It asks whether to also remove your chat logs, your settings and saved login, the stream player's sign-in and the error log. Anything you leave unticked stays, ready for if you come back.
