Franz 2.0 - Desktop app for Slack, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, Messenger

Franz 2.0 is a desktop app that puts messaging services altogether in one place. It can combine apps like WhatsApp, Slack, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, HipChat, Skype and a lot more. You can even use multiple accounts for the Facebook Messenger - mix your business profiles and your private ones if you need to.

Great app! Starting to using it today. Are you planning to add twitter? Gmail would be cool too. Thank you!
Stefan Malzner
@therubydoggy twitter and tweetdeck is coming

Dont see lot of value added to the existing chrome tabs I am using, it feels like I am using one more windows with only chat software tabs open

@nilsej let's start with Franz allows multiple accounts of one service, integrates native notifications with muting/customization options, it's easy to tab-to, doesn't get closed by accident and we are constantly updating Franz with new features that will make messaging much easier. If you want to compare Franz with Chrome then yes, it's "just" a browser but with a huge difference: Franz is actually optimized for the use with messenger/communication services.

I don't even want to think about how many messaging clients I'd need to have open if I didn't have Franz. Great work!

Bad: It's a wrapper for web apps. Good: Hey, it works surprisingly well.

I wonder how performant it is? For slack I have 3 groups... will it be slow?
Stefan Malzner
@datarade don't worry it won't be slow :) Especially if you are using different services like WhatsApp, Slack, Skype, Telegram, ... at once, the cpu/memory footprint is better.

If only it was possible to integrate with iMessage :)
Stefan Malzner
@zachherbert we are already testing various approaches to offer iMessage support :)

This is great! I moved to Franz from a handful of other apps. A few requests if possible: 1) Pin to Mac status menu with color/digit notifications of new messages and hide from dock (kinda possible now with Statusduck) 2) Viber 3) Skype calling please (web skype seems to be running OK for me)
