Caprine2.59.3

Caprine puts Facebook Messenger conversations in a dedicated desktop window, giving Linux users an unofficial client separate from any official Facebook or Messenger release. It is designed with privacy in mind, including controls that prevent others from seeing conversation names and avatars, hide notification previews, and suppress read and typing indicators. Links clicked in the app are not tracked by Facebook.

The interface includes menu bar mode, Touch Bar support, Do Not Disturb awareness, dark mode, desktop notifications, and a layout that adapts to small window sizes. Users can jump between the first nine conversations with Command/Control plus a number, keep the window above others, and send formatted code blocks with Markdown syntax. Notifications can be enabled in Preferences; on macOS, they can also be muted from the Caprine/File menu or Dock.

Caprine supports Work Chat, known as Messenger for Workplace, through the Caprine/File menu. It is open-source software from Sindre Sorhus, so its code can be inspected and reused in ways allowed by its license terms. The listed build requires Linux with snapd on x86_64 (amd64); the broader support matrix also includes arm64, macOS 10.12+ on Intel and Apple Silicon, and Windows 10+ 64-bit. Version 2.59.3 suits people who want Messenger access, privacy controls, and desktop-specific conversation handling in a Communication app.
