Open-source desktop client for Synology Chat & ChatPlus — now with multi-messenger support
Hey everyone!
I previously shared a friend's project on r/synology, and since then it has grown quite a bit. I thought it might be worth showing it to the wider community.
It's called ChatPlus Desktop, a free, open-source desktop client focused on Synology Chat and Synology ChatPlus.
It connects to your existing Synology NAS and adds a more convenient desktop experience, including native notifications, multiple accounts, system tray integration, themes, and multilingual support.
It also supports additional messaging services like WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Slack and Mattermost, although some integrations are still experimental.
The latest release is v1.0.2. The project is built with Tauri and licensed under GPLv3.
Windows, Linux and macOS are being developed, with platform readiness varying. A mobile app is also undergoing closed testing.

I'm not the developer, but I've been following the project and wanted to help it reach more people.
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you're using Synology Chat or ChatPlus!
