Tinkle is a tickertape and presence client for Mac OS X (10.5 and later). In a slightly heretical move, it does not actually provide a tickertape-style scrolling display.

What Tinkle does provide:

• A scrolling IRC-like message log display.
• A presence roster panel.
• Growl support.
• Secure messaging.
• General integration with Mac OS X, including doing the right thing on system sleep, better idle detection and drag and drop support.

Download

• Tinkle 1.0.0: Tinkle-1.0.0.dmg.
