Limerino is a fast, native Twitch chat client for iPhone — and now clips and past broadcasts play inside the app, with the chat that was live at that moment replaying right beside them. CHAT, BUILT NATIVE • Emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BTTV, and FrankerFaceZ render inline — animated, wide, and zero-width emotes included, with badges. • Tap any emote to enlarge it and see its name, its provider, and its creator credit when the provider publishes one. • Supporter name colors from 7TV render on chat usernames. • Replies, reply threads you can follow, and Twitch's own pinned messages in a banner at the top of chat. • Whispers built in. Read and reply to private messages. • Open several channels, keep favorites close, and read two at the same time in split view. • Chat history is backfilled when you join, so you land mid-conversation. CLIPS, VIDEOS, AND CHAT REPLAY • Tap a clip or video link in chat and it opens in a full-screen player instead of Safari. Timestamped links open at the right moment, and a clip can jump to its source broadcast. • Browse any channel's videos and clips from the videos button in the chat header — sort videos by newest, trending, or most viewed, and filter clips by date. • Past broadcasts and clips replay the stream's own chat, paced to playback: video on top with chat below in portrait, a side column in landscape. Replay is read-only. • Share a clip or video link from Safari, or from any app's share sheet, straight into Limerino. WATCH AND CHAT AT ONCE • Pop the live stream in above chat and never miss a message. • In landscape the top bar steps aside so video and chat get the whole screen, and stream title cards tuck themselves away once you have read them. MENTIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS • Get a push when someone @mentions you, even while Limerino is closed. Alerts cover the channels you follow by default, and an optional wider scope reaches across the channels Limerino's monitoring network covers. • Your full mention history lives in one Mentions list you can sort, filter by time, and search by sender — and a single inbox holds mentions, highlights, and whispers together. • Stream, whisper, and chat-event alerts each get their own style — Prominent, Quiet, or Off — and bursts like sub trains and raid waves collapse into a single counted notification. • Mute one person's notifications from their user card, or straight from a notification. MODERATION AND COMMANDS • In channels you moderate: timeouts, bans, an AutoMod queue, and a moderation log — with editable timeout presets that drive both the user card and the chat swipe. • Poll and prediction lifecycle commands, colored announcements, and custom command macros with your own placeholders. • Report or block anyone — every viewer, not just moderators. Block a user or mute a phrase and matching messages disappear, in live chat and in replay. MADE FOR IPHONE • Sign in on Twitch's own page — Limerino never sees or stores your password. A Twitch account is required to read and send chat. • A Home Screen or Lock Screen widget tracks the channel you were last watching, and an optional Live Activity follows a live stream. • Per-channel themes, adjustable auto-hide timings, and controls for nearly everything. • Accessible by design: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Switch Control, and Reduce Motion support. Limerino does not host or stream any content: live chat and video are delivered by Twitch, and the chat history shown when you join a channel comes from the community recent-messages service.

PICTURES IN CHAT The plus button beside the composer uploads a photo and puts the link in your message, with location and camera details stripped before it leaves the phone. Nothing uploads on its own: an image goes only when you attach or paste one. Uploads land at kappa.lol out of the box, or at your own host if you run one. Whether links from those hosts draw their picture inline is a separate switch, off until you turn it on, so the app fetches nothing from them for a message somebody else posted. PAINTS ON EVERY NAME 7TV name paints were landing on some names and quietly missing others, most visibly when you tagged someone whose messages were not on screen. The app now recognizes the person behind a name, so paints reach mention chips, reply strips, thread views, quoted messages, profiles and replays. A paint that arrives late repaints the rows already showing that name instead of leaving them flat, and a paint dropped when the system reclaims memory comes back rather than staying plain until the next message. FASTER, COOLER, LONGER Two sweeps across launch, channel opening, chat rendering, emotes, images, storage and networking. Switching channels paints chat first instead of waiting on the stream banner, your own message appears the moment you send it, the emote picker opens without its first-time pause, and a busy channel no longer redraws the whole screen with every arriving message. Idle cost is lower, so a long session should be easier on the battery. GESTURES THAT DO WHAT YOU MEANT A swipe to reply no longer fires whatever it slid across: author names, whisper captions, link cards and clip cards stay put until you tap one deliberately. A mention keeps its color when that person's messages age out, instead of flashing to white. Dragging chat down to dismiss the keyboard hands off to the system's own scrolling rather than fighting it, and rotating in split view keeps both sides where you left them. KEEP THE SCREEN AWAKE A new switch in Settings, under Device, off by default. Turn it on and your phone will not auto-lock anywhere in Limerino; normal locking resumes the moment you leave. It costs battery, which is why it ships off. ALSO Timed-out and banned messages say for how long and why. Tapping a mention opens its channel and finds the message. Relative times drop the ticking seconds. A slow credential check no longer shows you signed out over a perfectly good login. Emotes that fell back to text after a rough patch of connection come back on their own. Plus a long list of smaller repairs across chat, whispers, moderation tools, settings and the video player, most of them reported by people using the app. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-08 Landscape is rebuilt around chat beside video, whispers happen inline where you already are, and returning to the app no longer means waiting for chat to catch up. LANDSCAPE, REBUILT Turning the phone now puts chat alongside the stream instead of hiding it behind a cover you had to dismiss. The split is the default, the video keeps its proportions, and the live title can be tucked away when you want the picture and the conversation and nothing else. WHISPERS WITHOUT LEAVING THE CONVERSATION Private messages appear inline in the channel you are watching, in the sender's real colour, so a whisper no longer means a trip to another screen. Long-press any message and you can start a whisper to that person directly. Sending the first whisper to someone used to be able to lock the app up while it looked the recipient up; it no longer can. CHAT STARTS FLOWING WHEN YOU COME BACK Reopening the app after a while used to sit quiet and then dump a wall of messages at once. Every reconnect was re-downloading each open channel's emotes and badges on the same queue that delivers messages, so live chat queued behind that work. It does not any more, and the effect is largest if you keep several channels open. Reconnects also re-download far less, which is easier on mobile data. 7TV PAINTS, PROPERLY Animated and image-based name paints render the way they do on the web, including drop shadows and gradient stops, rather than being flattened or dropped. A /ME STAYS ON ONE LINE Third-person actions follow your own line-break setting instead of always breaking, and they read as narration, with no stray colon. NAMES YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ Usernames that a person chose in a colour too close to the background are lifted to a readable contrast, so red no longer arrives looking orange, and the choice remains yours to switch off. FASTER PROFILES AND MENTIONS Opening a profile settles without the layout shifting under your thumb, and the mentions list scrolls smoothly at any length. Plus a long list of smaller repairs across chat, moderation tools, notifications, and settings, most of them reported by people using the app. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-02 Reply threads, moderator tools, and a Message history setting that finally means what it says. REPLY THREADS Tap the reply line above a message, or choose View reply thread, and the conversation opens in place with live chat still visible behind it. It opens half height and pulls up to full, and the message you came from stays on screen. The thread is a snapshot on purpose, so it will not grow or reshuffle while you read, and Follow reply thread keeps up with one that is still going. MODERATORS CAN DELETE A MESSAGE In channels you moderate, message actions and the user card both offer Delete. Deleted messages appear struck through and dimmed, or disappear entirely if Hide deleted messages is on. The option only appears where you actually moderate. MESSAGE HISTORY NOW CONTROLS HISTORY The slider used to govern only how much chat was kept in memory. How far back a channel loaded when you opened it was always about a hundred lines, whatever you set. One dial now does both, so raising it and reopening a busy channel lands you noticeably deeper. MENTIONS YOU MISSED WHILE AWAY Signing back in used to leave older mentions unexamined, so a mention further back than the newest hundred messages could never reach your inbox. History also appears on a cold launch without waiting for sign-in to finish. HIGHLIGHT RULES CAN BE REGULAR EXPRESSIONS Mark a rule as a pattern in Settings, Highlights. Existing plain-text rules keep working exactly as before, and an invalid pattern is explained in the editor instead of being quietly ignored. REPLIES TO YOU CAN STOP ALERTING Turn reply pings off and a reply sends no notification while ordinary mentions still arrive. The choice survives relaunching and signing out and back in. TAP A USERNAME FOR RECENT MESSAGES The user card fills from chat the app already has, so nothing is fetched. 7TV EMOTES KEEP WORKING 7TV is changing how a channel's emote set is delivered on August 3. Without this update a channel's 7TV emotes would simply stop appearing, and silently, with the emote names rendered as plain text instead. Live emote updates would stop arriving too. Nothing to turn on. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE Tapping chat dismisses the keyboard. Tapping a message, username or emote still does its own thing. ONE THING REMOVED Video no longer continues playing when the app is not on screen, and the floating window is off. Rotating, the app switcher, and a sheet over the player all still count as on screen, so playback does not stop for any of them. iPad is still iPhone-scaled. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-07-30 1.0.8 is the biggest Limerino update yet: clips and past broadcasts now play inside the app — with the chat that was live at that moment replaying right beside them. CLIPS AND VIDEOS, IN THE APP - Tap a clip or video link in chat and it opens in a full-screen player instead of sending you to Safari. Timestamped links open at the right moment, and a clip can jump to its source broadcast. - Browse any channel's videos and clips from the new videos button in the chat header — sort videos by newest, trending, or most viewed; filter clips by date range. - Share a clip or video link from Safari, or from any app's share sheet, straight into Limerino. - Chat replay: past broadcasts and clips replay the stream's own chat, paced to playback — video on top with chat below in portrait, a side column in landscape. Replay is read-only. LANDSCAPE THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY While you watch in landscape, the top bar steps aside so video and chat get the whole screen. Stream title cards can be tapped away, and tuck themselves after a moment so the title glances then yields. NOTIFICATIONS, REBUILT - Notifications now group into proper stacks, by channel or by type. - Bursts — sub trains, raid waves, first-message floods — collapse into one notification with a live count, and every combine window is adjustable. - Each stream, whisper, and chat-event alert type has its own style: Prominent, Quiet, or Off. - Mute one person's notifications from their user card, or straight from a mention notification. - The mentions inbox now catches up on mentions from while the app was closed — one Mentions list holding your full account history, sortable, filterable by time, and searchable by sender. - That inbox now loads one page at a time as you scroll instead of pulling your whole history at once, and it holds its place under your thumb. PINS, THREADS, AND EMOTES - Twitch's own pinned messages appear in a banner at the top of chat, with moderator pin and unpin (confirmation first) and an adjustable auto-hide. Your private bookmark is now called Saved, so "pin" means Twitch's real pin. - Follow a reply thread and its replies get a highlight and an inbox entry, even without an @-mention. - Tap any emote — Twitch, 7TV, BTTV, or FFZ — to enlarge it and see its name, its provider, and its creator credit when the provider publishes one. - The emote picker groups emotes under the channel that granted them, with a rail to jump between channels, and its search matches a broadcaster's name as well as an emote's code. MODERATION AND COMMANDS - Poll and prediction lifecycle: /endpoll, /cancelpoll, /lockprediction, /cancelprediction, /completeprediction, plus live status readouts. - Colored announcements, editable timeout presets that drive both the user card and the swipe escalation, and custom command macros with name, channel, and input placeholders. RELIABILITY - Switching channels now health-checks the chat connection on the spot, so a quietly dead connection is redialed in seconds instead of leaving chat frozen. - A locked device or a slow keychain at launch no longer bounces you to signed out. - Sign out and back in without losing your history: blocks and muted phrases stay on this device, and your mentions come back tied to your account. - The mention badge counts only what is genuinely unread: it shows the real number at any count, it drops mentions you delete, and a count carried over from an earlier launch clears the moment you open the inbox. - AutoMod held-message notices name the channel again. - The emote image cache now sits outside your device backup and prunes itself to a ceiling that actually binds. ALSO IN 1.0.8 - Supporter name colors from 7TV now render on chat usernames. - The channel switcher is simpler: Followed already puts live channels first, so the separate Live tab is gone. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-18 1.0.7 makes mention notifications rock-solid. - Fixed a crash when opening the app by tapping a mention notification while Limerino was fully closed. - The Mention Vault now refreshes when you open it from a notification and whenever you return to the app — the newest mentions always appear at the top right away, and the app badge clears once you've seen them. ## More apps by Meipath LLC - [Berkshire Scanner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/berkshire-scanner/id6791772559) All apps by Meipath LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1893459175 ## Related topics [twitch chat](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/twitch-chat) · [twitch stream helper](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/twitch-stream-helper) · [twitchcon](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/twitchcon) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
