Why

I’m annoyed at the lack of desktop app for voice, like hangouts had.

What does it do

It just lets you keep voice open without a chrome browser. It will also check the dom for notifications and display a badge in the task bar and closing the app will send it to a tray instead of closing.

Supported Operating Systems

Currently supports both OSX, Windows 10 & Linux.

Installation

Go to the Releases Page and download the release for your OS.

Simply uzip and drag into the applications folder (mac) or run the executable (windows) or run the app image (ubuntu)

undefinedMac Note: The mac version is unsigned, so you will have to click “Open Anyway” after running, or go to Settings > Security & Privacy > General > Open Anyway. Sorry not paying for a dev license just for thisundefined

undefinedLinux Note: You will have to make the AppImage executable in order to run it. Right Click > Properties > Permissions > Allow Executing file as a programundefined

Customize

You can change settings, apply themes and other things in the customization page. Go to Electron > Settings on Mac in the global menu bar, or File > Settings on windows. If you’ve hidden the menu bar you can also access the settings from the system tray.

Not only themes but also a system for themeing! If you want to create your own theme and contribute back to the project you can do that here.
