**Notice**
This app will not receive any update if you have installed the snap version.
You can opt-in to deb version to get updates.

An unofficial desktop app for Google Chat built with Electron

**Motivation**

* Google has shutdown the official Google Chat Desktop App in March 2021
* Google is forcing users to use PWA which has less features
* You are a Firefox user and don't want to install Chrome; just to use a PWA.

**Available for Windows and Mac OS too.**
