We are extremely excited to announce the launch of our native Windows App! Once you download, install, and login to Yappy for Windows, the app will run in the background and be available from your notification icon area.

You can now receive notifications, send and reply to text messages, send photos, and more without a browser extension.

The desktop app will also let you pop open any conversation as a chat head! Quickly access your conversation at a glance or reply in a second without leaving your main task. This feature is incredibly useful if you are a multi-tasker or have multiple monitors.

New message notifications also show up and can hang around indefinitely until you view the conversation to make sure you don’t miss a beat! This was a popular feature request that we were unable to provide with our Chrome and Firefox extensions.

You can grab the Yappy Windows installer at https://update.yappy.im/yappy_installer.zip
