FreeChat

FreeChat is a handy app that lets you chat with your Facebook friends right from your desktop. No need to open your web browser! If you're used to the Messenger web app, you'll feel right at home with FreeChat's layout.

Easy Access to Messenger

With FreeChat, you can see all your contacts lined up on the left side of the screen. The main part of the app shows your chat window where you can easily send messages. It's super simple!

User-Friendly Interface

On the right side, there's a collapsible panel that gives you more info about the contact you're chatting with. You can check out their Facebook profile and even see photos they've shared. It feels just like using Facebook Messenger!

Look and Feel

If you care about visuals, you'll love how FreeChat looks almost exactly like the Messenger app. Plus, if you're into dark modes, it offers an optional dark color theme too.

Messaging Features

Sending messages? Easy peasy! You can also share files, emojis, and animated GIFs. Group chats are available too! Just a heads up: recording voice messages isn’t an option here.

Stay Updated with Notifications

You won't miss any important messages because FreeChat sends notifications whenever someone pings you. And if things get noisy, you can mute specific conversations for a while.

A Few Limitations

One downside is that FreeChat doesn’t have menu bar integration. This means you can't track conversations without juggling another window.

Your Desktop Messenger Solution

Overall, FreeChat makes chatting with friends easy from your desktop without needing to deal with a web browser every time. If you're looking for a straightforward way to use Facebook Messenger on your Mac, download FreeChat here!
