Limerino is a fast, native Twitch chat client for iPhone and iPad — and 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 on iPhone 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. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Sign in on Twitch's own page — Limerino never sees or stores your password. A Twitch account is required to read and send chat. • On iPad, the channel list can sit beside the conversation while video and chat share the screen. A hardware keyboard, the menu bar and right-click all work, and a channel can open in its own window. • 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. Limerino is a third-party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Twitch or Amazon.
