Whatsie - WhatsApp for Linux

Whatsie - WhatsApp for Linux is an open-source communication application for using WhatsApp on Linux desktop systems. It provides voice and video calls, with screen sharing supported on Wayland. Multiple profiles allow users to work with more than one WhatsApp account.

The interface includes light, dark, and system themes, along with display scaling and zoom controls. Desktop notifications can display contact avatars, while system tray integration offers an unread message badge, mute controls, and Do Not Disturb options. Files can be attached by dragging them into the application or pasting them, and a built-in download manager maintains download history. Spell checking is available for multiple languages.

Optional privacy features include a passcode-protected app lock, automatic locking, and a privacy blur that conceals message text and media until they are hovered over. Per-site permissions control access to the camera, microphone, and location, while HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy support includes authentication. The application can start at login, open minimized to the system tray, and use keyboard shortcuts for common actions. It can also include diagnostic information in bug reports without exposing message content.

Whatsie is distributed for Linux as open-source software under the MIT License and belongs to the Communication category. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing, giving Linux users a catalog-based way to obtain the application.
