Hello hunters,
we've worked on this for the last couple of weeks and it's slowly gaining traction. It started as a side project because we all loved the idea so much as we're wrestling with many different communication platforms each day. It's very interesting to see that while mobile apps tend to become native, a lot of these platforms are using the web on desktop computers. That's what allows All-in-One Messenger to provide the same experience as intended by the platform provider.
There's currently around 4.5k users and we have received a lot of positive feedback, especially from Chrome OS users. Developing a Chrome app allowed us to focus on things like getting audio and video to work properly (for Google Hangouts and Facebook calls) instead of setting up a cross-platform build and deployment infrastructure.

@aflatter This is a really good idea! It's always nice to have everything in one place. Really looking forward to trying it out.
@aflatter Great tool. Really enjoying it.
- Any chance you'll add Linkedin Messaging?
- Also, would you be able to add a "new message badge" to the icon toolbar, the same way WhatsApp windows app does it?
@brudrrr Glad you like it!
As for the "new message badge": I can definitely see how this is useful. We're already working on this, but we might face the limits of Chrome Apps here.
As for LinkedIn: their messaging feature is connected to their website and can not be used separately. This is a problem for us because we would have to remove the navigation bar etc. to fit it into our app. We have been avoiding these things as they tend to break stuff. I've added your request to our issue tracker, maybe we can work something out.
@alariccalmette thanks for your question!
Actually I used this method before we created All-in-One Messenger.
Every time I closed Google Chrome I had to manually open these tabs again.
This felt quite annoying. In addition to that All-in-One Messenger allows you to:
- use multiple accounts at once,
- manage desktop notification settings in one place,
- manage audio settings in one place,
- reorder messengers,
- rename messenger tabs,
- and select your messengers via System Shortcuts (e.g. CMD-Tab).
@sharon_profis Hi Sharon, you should be able to use the following shortcuts on OS X:
To switch to a specific tab: ⌘ + 1 through ⌘ + 9
To jump to the next tab: ⌘ + Option + Tab or ⌘ + Option + Right arrow
To jump to the previous tab: ⌘ + Option + Shift + tab or ⌘ + Option + Left arrow
On Windows/Linux/Chrome OS, it's a little bit different:
Jump to the next open tab: Alt + Ctrl + Tab
Jump to the previous open tab: Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Tab
Jump to a specific tab: Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 8
Does that help?
Memory hog, 1.6gb ram, huge memory hog. Using FluidApp creates a Mac app that uses Safari to do the same thing create a web app. Safari uses less memory and you can have any website setup as an app. Good effort, poor choice to use chrome.
@androidlove Hi Carlos, thanks for your feedback. Web browsers today claim a lot of memory and as such this is also true for each of the messengers you use in our app. I'm not sure though how you got to 1.6GB, I for example use 5 tabs which corresponds to around 500MB of RAM. Did you use the Chrome task manager to get that number? Which messengers do you use?
Report
@androidlove I'm definitely not seeing anywhere near that amount of mem use.
@megaroeny@androidlove Thanks for your screenshot, it's especially interesting to see that Gitter is the top offender. Google Hangouts uses more memory than other platforms as expected. We will collect more numbers.
I still don't think that this is a huge problem: Chrome rendering processes use as much memory as possible to improve performance (why not use the memory if it's there?), but it should also release memory if it's needed for other applications.
Just installed. Looking good so far 🙂 I've been using Franz for some time now and I could even say it has changed my life (in a great way). I like the idea that this app is bundled with Chrome, that is a worthy plus for me.
@aflatter: One thing I really liked about All-in-One Messenger is the right click. Even though it doesn't have a "copy link address" option, it allows to copy text which most links in IM are also, so that it wonderful, none of the other services have a right click menu at all.
Would it be too much of a hassle to add support for IRC? It would be lovely to be able to bundle that one with all my other IMs.
@leomeloxp Hi Leonardo, thanks for your feedback! We thought about adding support for IRCCloud, would that help?
Report
@aflatter Yeah, that would be one solution. I don't currently use any web based IRC client so can't really suggest a preferred one.
Keep up with the good work o/

One app that unifies them all. Really great approach and wooow for Chrome! :)

Congrats! It seems like a great software, can't wait to try it.
