Rambox is a workspace browser that allows you to manage as many applications as you want, all in one place. It is perfect for people who care about productivity and work with many applications, both business and personal.
Hello Product Hunters! 👋🏼 I'm very excited to launch here! 🚀
Introduction:
Hi 😊! I'm a 32yo software developer who lives in Argentina. I work in a small team of three people where we work hard to help people organizing their workspace to boost their productivity.
Problem:
I built Rambox because I work on multiple projects every day, and each one demands to use specific web apps for management, communication, emails, etc. I found myself with nine pinned tabs in my Google Chrome, and they started to bother me because I also use the browser to search, read and all you can imagine but also my CPU and RAM were 💥🔥!
Solution:
I created a multi-platform desktop app with some features to help with productivity and organization. That's why I built Rambox CE launched here in 2016 as a Free and Open Source project.
Today, after a year of maturity, I decided to share with you my loved project we have been working. Rambox Pro is our paid version, where we add more features, apps, and provide special support.
Who it's for:
If you are a person who works in front of a computer every day and use the same web apps every single day, no matter what activity you develop, Rambox CE or Pro can help you. 😉
Hopefully, you can find it interesting and help you with your productivity. I will be glad to read your feedback and answer your questions. 🤗
Thank you!
@saenzramiro It looks good man. Best of luck to you, I will definitely try it out. How does CPU usage compare to just launching all the other apps independently?
I've been using Rambox for past half year and I am very pleased with it. It's easier to have dedicated app for messaging apps rather than have 10 pinned tab in your browser. Great work guys, keep it up!
Love this product. Great to open one app, rather than 5. Also helps you stay focused. Would be great if you could set this to use the system default mail handler. Highly recommended.
Great product! I LOVE Rambox, I use it every day.. thanks a lot! and I love the fact that you guys are latinamericans... keep it up!! (and maybe add torrent option to updates?)
@saenzramiro HI! for those of us that dont have good bandwith, torrent is a great help, because the size of the file is around 60 mbytes, and if the connection gets interrupted, I have to start over from the beggining.. torrents allows interruptions and resuming, until the download is complete.. also, since via torrent you get the file from various other users, it gets faster, so it is a great option, and easy for you to do.. in the same server you put the new file, with utorrent software, create the torrent and then post the torrent file (a ver small one) or a magnet link (no file, like a link) and that's it
I use it for movies and tv shows, and sometimes large software files
let me know if I can help :)
Definitely the best option I have right now for having all my distractions in one app: SMS, FB, WhatsApp, Hangouts, Mattermost, and Slack. I just wish it would support non-public IRC (the way that Pidgin does, when VPN is turned on) so I can finally ditch Pidgin.
I do find that it can halt after a few hours, but it's easy enough to restart it when that happens (with no data/notifications lost). This might also be because I'm running it in a Fedora 27 VM vi VirtualBox on Windows, rather than running it on the host machine directly.
@nick_boldt Thank you Nick for your feedback! I don't know much about IRC, but did you take a look at FreeNode and Kiwi? Both apps are already supported in Rambox.
Related with the problem you mentioned, no one reported that also so probably is a VM problem. 🤷♂️
I've been using Rambox since the early days and switched to Pro as soon as it was possible.
Tried a few alternatives before and since, but nope, Rambox it is!
- Highly customizable (missing an App? Add it! All it requires is for the app to have a browser accessible webinterface) AND THEN CUSTOMIZE THAT APP EVEN MORE!
Custom JavaScript? NO PROBLEM!
Custom Style? NO PROBLEM!
- Synchronisation between multiple machines? NO PROBLEM!
- Missing a feature? Ask nicely 😄
I don't know what else I can say.
I've been using it every day as my central communication hub for quite some time now.
So give it a try!
Been using Rambox Pro for almost a solid year now. As many others have said online, Rambox Pro is one of the best softwares of its kind. I particularly like that it accepts Userstyles, javascript snippets (very useful)... I plan on eventually using Rambox Pro as a perfect way to easily onboard new employees at my business. Yay Rambox Pro!
This is the first app that opens when I start my computer, and it has been so for the past 1 year. I have used it for things beyond chat - JIRA, Trello, TweetDeck, and what not. Highly recommended!
I don't know where I would be without this app. Using it daily since 2+ years in over 15 different messaging services. Thank you for this software solution!
First of all Thank you ! I must say did they did quite deep analysis in order to find the best software for organising chats and other Web apps. Rambox is best than other competitors by far because of possibillity to include own apps, updates in order to support last updates of skype and other, shortcuts for keyboard.
Of course there is some minimal place for Fron-End improvement in order to provide even better UIX ever, but already now you are the best by far. Thank you soo much. If you need any help or you would to have beta tester I will be glad to help. ) And please know that Serbia loves you )))
Other apps were (IM+, allinone.im, Statio, Fireworks, Franz, Manageyum and some other) so trust me this one is better then them ;)
You have to use time wisely if you have tons of projects to finish. Working with 10 tabs in browser can be nightmare sometimes. That's why I use Rambox. But the other advantage of Rambox is, it has integrated master password lock. I'm using Rambox on my office computer and my Gmail, WhatsApp is open there. I don't want them to look at my messages. So with just one click you can lock your app.
Also, you can add custom services. Just URL, logo and name if you want. And you are ready to use that service.
Thanks for this kind of product
I used Franz for years and 6 months ago I discovered Rambox. It took me 5 minutes to quit definitively Franz, your product is a real life changer. Muchas gracias !!!
Rambox is an awesome product! You have all your 'communication channels' in one place! One notification, one app to launch at startup, countless possibilities. Everyone should give it a try!
