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). 😍
had the same problem...actually I've even started downloading it.

, , 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.
This is killer. Easy access without flipping between tabs or stand alone apps is a huge convenience. Look forward to customizing notification sounds...
How is the data stored for all these API channels?
can you please add vk.com (russian social networking) - e.g. iframe

As usual, if you have any questions about Franz feel free to ask me anything. If you have support requests, please head over and open a new ticket - this way it's much easier for us to track all the requests. happy messaging Stefan
Any future support for VPNs?
Maker
not directly VPN but we will soon add support for proxy settings.
Any plans to make this a W10 universal app? Much prefer apps over full desktop software most of the time...
Maker
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.
Great! Looking forward to watching progress.... :-)
& this must be what your resume looks like for Franz 2.0 🙌

Heh, thanks! 👍
Been using Franz for a few weeks now - 2 Slack teams, Skype, Messenger and Wechat. Downloading the update now.
Oh wait. Confused. Franz 2.0 is the Windows Linux beta, Franz Mac is still 0.9.10 beta?
Maker
0.9.10 on our website is 2.0 – we are currently changing our versioning to show progress in a less confusing way was just a bit faster than we were :)
That also got me startled a bit. My guess is that if you see WeChat (Gitter etc.) support you are actually having 2.0, even though it says 0.9.1. Not sure though. cc
same here...very confusing. not cool.
Maker
we changed our versioning, internal it's still 0.9.10 = 2.0 our website is now updated to reflect the changes. Sorry for confusing anyone.
Add apple imessage please!!!!
agreed! native apple messages on osx inclusion would have me shutting messages and running everything through franz!
Maker
we are working on a couple experiments regarding iMessage. I can't promise anything yet but we'll see :)
Once there is spell check support (Mac) this will be perfect!
Maker
we are already working on it :)
awesome! My friends and colleagues will just have to deal with my numerous typos until you are done 😜
Maker
don't see it as a typo, see it as a creative expression of yourself! 🌈
I've used this every day since the original launch! Great update, keep it up 👌🏼
me too!
*Clap clap clap*. That's a great tool, I'm downloading for Windows and will use for sure. Thanks.
Will Mac and mobile apps be coming?
Maker
Mac is already out since March 1st 😎 and we are planning support for the iOS and Android in 2017
thank you
Any plans to support AIM chat in this app? I still have a few people that I talk with regularly on AIM so hard for me to ditch something like Adium .
Maker
sooner or later we will support most of the messenger platforms out there, including AIM ;)
Awesome! Thanks!
