CLUSTER DESKTOP-LINUX-WHATSAPP · 25 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-06-09

WhatsApp desktop wrapper apps

This cluster consists of desktop client applications that wrap WhatsApp Web into standalone apps, often targeting Linux users, with features like tray integration, notifications, and multi-account support. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one member has a source date before the index start, and many have none. On traction, Omarchy-Whatsapp leads with 7 stars, followed by whatsapp-tauri (3) and Karere (0).

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUN 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
