About

ZapZap provides a dedicated desktop window for WhatsApp Web on Linux, with system tray integration, notifications, and support for multiple accounts. It is designed for users who want quick access to their conversations without keeping a browser tab open.

Changelog

Version 7.5 adds a floating Quick Access window and an integrated account selector with unread activity. Chat lists can now be resized and compacted, with unread counts over avatars and contact-name tooltips. Downloads gain configurable saving behavior, automatic opening options, progress controls and recent-download menus. This release also adds global mute, plain-text paste, WhatsApp profile photo synchronization and improved crash diagnostics, and reduces typing stutter.
