Unofficial Facebook Messenger app

OS X 10.8+, Windows 7+ & Linux are supported.

$ brew cask install caprine

Download, unzip, and move Caprine.app to the /Applications directory.

Download and unzip to some location.

To add a shortcut to the app, create a file in ~/.local/share/applications called caprine.desktop with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Caprine
Exec=/full/path/to/folder/Caprine
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/full/path/to/folder/Caprine/resources/app/media/Icon.png

Download and unzip to some location.

The interface adapts when resized to a small size.

Desktop notifications can be turned on in Preferences.

NOTE: There is a known bug with Electron's handling of desktop notifications on systems running Gnome 3 that may cause Caprine to crash if notifications are clicked. Until this bug is resolved, do not click on notifications if they cause the app to crash on your system.
