Franz is a messaging app for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Slack and more.

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.

Major new update of Franz: now comes with clients for Windows and Linux (used to be Mac only) as well as support for 6 new messaging platforms (WeChat, Chatwork, Steam, Gitter, Discord, GroupMe). 😍

@__tosh Changelog doesn't say 2.0 ... http://www.meetfranz.com/changel...

@bentossell @__tosh had the same problem...actually I've even started downloading it.

@bentossell, @ricricucit, @__tosh we have now updated our website to reflect our new versioning system. If you are running on 0.9.10 you are already running 2.0 – with the next update this versioning change will be visible within Franz as well. Sorry for confusing you.

@__tosh This is killer. Easy access without flipping between tabs or stand alone apps is a huge convenience. Look forward to customizing notification sounds...

@__tosh How is the data stored for all these API channels?

As usual, if you have any questions about Franz feel free to ask me anything. If you have support requests, please head over http://franz.zendesk.com and open a new ticket - this way it's much easier for us to track all the requests. happy messaging Stefan

@smalzner Any future support for VPNs?

@ausonio not directly VPN but we will soon add support for proxy settings.

@smalzner Any plans to make this a W10 universal app? Much prefer apps over full desktop software most of the time...

@robtregaskes we have plans to provide Franz for the Windows Store and Mac AppStore – but there are still some limitations with W10 universal apps we need to look into before we can make a proper estimate.

@smalzner Great! Looking forward to watching progress.... :-)

@imprecision & @smalzner this must be what your resume looks like for Franz 2.0 🙌

@as_austin @smalzner Heh, thanks! 👍

Does not recommend this app. I paid for the annual Franz subscription a year ago. This year, they deducted money again for the annual subscription without any warning. I've tried contacting customer support multiple times, but haven't received any response. I've written several times requesting a refund, but they haven't processed it, likely because they are not responding. It seems like the application has been inactive for a while, and they are simply deducting money. It appears to be fraudulent.

I've been using Franz for years and haven't found an app that comes close

I've been using Franz for years and its competitors don't compare. Doesn't take up as much RAM during use and regular updates keep it as bug-free as possible.
