The door from the map to the room.
VoxTerrae is the WarHeatMap IRC client. One click puts you in #warheatmap on EFnet, the only room it ever joins for you, with local history, search and notifications in a window built for 2026./join away. No accounts. No telemetry.
Windows portable exe (44 MB, built by the public GitHub Actions workflow with a provenance attestation) and the source bundle (94 KB), both with SHA-256 published. Run from source also works.
One network, one home room
EFnet, the 1990 original, with #warheatmap as home and every other room a /join away. No accounts, no server of ours, nothing to sign up for. Reconnects on its own.
History that catches you up
Everything you saw is stored locally and searchable. On launch the client replays your history, then reconnects and carries on where you left off.
Private by construction
Data stays in %LOCALAPPDATA%\VoxTerrae. The only network traffic is IRC and one update check. This site sets no cookies and runs no trackers.
How it works
- Download and run. One file. Windows may show a SmartScreen notice for a new program; verify the checksum and continue.
- Pick a handle, press ENTER. Both networks connect. You start in #warheatmap.
- Talk. Right-click a message to quote it, mention or message the author. /search your history. /ask Axiom a question.
Trust, in the open
Every file carries a published SHA-256 and a verify command. Certificates on EFnet are pinned on first use and the client refuses a changed one. Source is MIT-licensed and public at github.com/indicaindependent/voxterrae; every release is built there in the open, and a build provenance attestation is published whenever the build could issue one (each release page says whether it did). Code signing is on the roadmap, and this page says so rather than hiding the SmartScreen prompt.
