Snak (Danish for "chat") was a shareware Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client written by Kent Sorensen for the Macintosh platform.[2][3][4] Snak was distributed as shareware and could be freely used and evaluated for 30 days at no charge.[3] After the 30-day evaluation period has ended, the program would quit after 15 minutes of use, and a registration key had to be purchased. Versions up to 4.12 run on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X while version 5 and newer only support Mac OS X. The program is Intel Only as of version 5.3.4. The program is not fully compatible with current macOS versions[5] and is no longer supported, with the developer stating that he is unable to create new versions due to the deprecation of the Carbon libraries.[6] On October 10, 2018, Snak was made freeware with a license key published on the project's web site.[7]
