BitlBee is a cross-platform IRC instant messaging gateway, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

BitlBee communicates with the user via the IRC protocol, providing a gateway to popular chat networks such as AIM and ICQ (via OSCAR), Microsoft Messenger service (via MSNP), Yahoo! (via YMSG) and Google Talk and Facebook Messenger[1] (via XMPP)[2] and the microblogging networks Twitter,[3] Identi.ca, and status.net. Since version 3.0, BitlBee can be built to use the libpurple library, which supports file transfers on many IM networks, and supports GaduGadu, QQ and other less well-known protocols.[4] It supports the display of remote user status using the IRC voice attribute: online users are shown with voice, away users are shown without.[5] Many IRC commands such as /WHO and /QUERY are available, though the capabilities of the remote IM protocols limits which IRC commands will work.[5]

It can be installed and operated on a user's personal computer, a local server,[2] or accessed on public gateway servers.[6] A user registers with the BitlBee server for future credentials storage. Service protocols are added along with their credentials; following this, the software will display the user's buddy list as normal IRC users in a channel.[2] Conversations can be public, or use the private message facility of IRC.[7]

BitlBee runs on Linux, Unix, BSD, Windows, AmigaOS[2]and Mac OS X.

The software has been reviewed positively. Vladi Belperchinov-Shabanski wrote that the software made his "dream come true", of only needing a single chat client open on his desktop, to access multiple IM protocols.[5]
