## What is Foam?

Foam is a fast, beautiful way to watch Twitch on your phone — built for people who live in chat.

SEE EVERY EMOTE
Foam renders 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ emotes and badges right in chat, including animated and zero-width emotes. No more walls of text where emotes should be — chat looks the way it does on desktop.

CHAT THAT KEEPS UP
A chat engine tuned for high-volume channels. Smooth scrolling, instant emote rendering, reply threads, and user cards — even when chat is flying.

MADE FOR VIEWERS
• Browse followed channels, top streams, and categories
• Theater-friendly fullscreen player
• Search streamers and categories instantly
• Block users and filter chat with custom blocked terms
• Pinned messages
• Quick actions to jump straight into Following, Live, or Search

YOUR CHAT, YOUR WAY
Fine-grained chat preferences: timestamps, message spacing, emote sizes, and more. Dark by default, easy on the eyes for long watch sessions.

Download Foam free and start watching in seconds - no account needed. See chat the way it was meant to look: every emote, every reply, no lag.

Foam is a free, open-source companion app for Twitch. It is not affiliated with Twitch Interactive, Inc.
