WhatsApp, Slack, Signal, Telegram, Gmail, Outlook and 75+ services in one fast desktop app — no more juggling ten browser tabs. Franz 6 adds a built-in AI assistant that summarizes long chats, transcribes voice notes, triages your inbox and drafts replies — all on-device, so your conversations stay private (EU-hosted Cloud optional). 1M+ downloads. Free, cross-platform, made in Vienna. Winner: Product Hunt Golden Kitty, Desktop App of the Year 2016.
Still my go-to tool for staying sane with 10+ different chat apps open. It just works, doesn't get in the way, and keeps everything in one clean place. Definitely a must-have for anyone juggling multiple platforms!
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.
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.
