About Whatsie

Whatsie is a native Linux desktop client for WhatsApp Web, built on Qt 6 and
QtWebEngine. It brings WhatsApp out of the browser tab and into a proper
desktop application — lightweight and fast, with system integration, privacy
controls, and customization options a plain browser cannot offer.

Core features:

• Light, dark and follow-system themes, kept in step with WhatsApp Web

• Native desktop notifications with contact avatars

• System-tray icon with an unread badge, mute and do-not-disturb

• Voice, video and screen-share calls (Wayland via the desktop portal)

• Built-in download manager with history; drag-and-drop and paste of attachments

• Spell check for your system language

• App lock with a passcode and configurable lock on start, on hide, or after idle

• Privacy blur to hide message text and media until you hover

More controls:

• Per-site camera, microphone and location permissions

• HTTP / SOCKS5 network proxy with authentication

• Autostart at login and start minimized to the tray

• Single instance with multiple-account profiles

• Zoom and interface scaling, plus a keyboard-shortcuts sheet

• One-click bug reporting with diagnostics, no messages included

Release info New Release on Sep 20, 2026
Release notes Fixes and small improvements:

• The interface now follows the desktop's light/dark preference reliably on Linux, including after resuming from sleep, instead of sometimes starting or reverting to light

• After resuming from sleep with the connection briefly down, Whatsie keeps retrying and reconnects on its own instead of getting stuck on the "You appear to be offline" page

• The spell-check language list now shows every bundled dictionary, not just the first few

• WhatsApp channel links now open the channel preview in the app, and "share text" links without a phone number are handled
