Franz Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Is there an app that can combine Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram DMs, and SMS into one unified inbox?

  But for Windows or Linux PC, I'd use this one Franz to view multiple chat apps. Source: 7 days ago

• Texts.com invite

  Thats insane! I thought it was a free thing that just required an invite to access. Jeez! I have seen an alternative called Franz, not tried it yet though. By the looks of it does have a free alternative aswell as paid version. Source: 14 days ago

• Message Integration app

  There is also https://meetfranz.com/. But its neither selfhosted nor free. (well unless you only need 3 different services). Source: about 2 months ago

• I Created Custom Artwork for Franz App

  For anyone who doesn't know what Franz is, you can check out the link below. It is essentially an application that allows you to access (most of) your online messaging apps in the same place. Which is convenient when you want to, for example, check your facebook, discord and IG messages at the same time. Https://meetfranz.com/. Source: 2 months ago

• Amine Mouafik, the maintainer of Ferdi, has passed away

  What is Ferdi: "A free and open-source application that lets you add multiple applications, including various messaging services, in one place." (https://itsfoss.com/ferdi/) A hard fork of Franz (https://meetfranz.com/), which costs money. What happened to it: Its repo and socials all went dark last year after an apparent conflict between maintainers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31014370... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Seriously: change my mind please.

  RCS Messages is how we get iMessage like features outside the Apple walled garden. I guess im not that worried about integrations since most of my messaging apps don't really have that. I do use Franz though. Source: over 1 year ago
