WhatsApp desktop client for OSX and Windows, based on the official WhatsApp web app. Build with Electron.
This is NOT an official product. This project does not attempt to reverse engineer the WhatsApp API or attempt to reimplement any part of the WhatsApp client. Any communication between the user and WhatsApp servers is handled by official WhatsApp Web itself; this is just a native wrapper for WhatsApp Web, like a browser.
For questions and support please use the Gitter room:
- Native notifications.
- System tray icon.
- Open links in browser.
- Badge with the number of notifications in the dock/taskbar.
- Dock icon bounces when a new message is received.
Planned features:
- Auto-launch on OS startup.
- Linux build.
Download and run the WhatsApp.app or WhatsApp.exe file from the latest release.
Note: Windows version is a test release.
