DEPLOY

Smack on the dock, updated from your server.

Smack for macOS and Windows wraps your Smack in a native window with system notifications, a dock badge and screen sharing. Installers and updates come from your own server.

Get SmackSee how it works

Updates arrive when you publish them, not when a vendor does.1

macOS 11+ universal · Windows 10/11 64-bit

Overview

Notifications that respect your settings.

Choose All, Mentions only or Nothing per conversation. One message means one notification, across every tab and device.

Even when Smack is closed.

Web Push delivers when no window is open, and optional email covers you when you’ve been away.

No admin prompt on Windows.

The Windows installer is per-user, and both apps update themselves from your server’s update feed.

FOR ADMINS

What admins control.

Your update feed.
Each Smack server hosts its own installers and update feed at /downloads/desktop.
Message text in push and email.
Admins decide whether previews include message text.
Email through your SMTP.
Smack sends notification email through the mail server you configure.
Every web feature.
The desktop app runs your own web app, so nothing is missing.

Use cases

  • SUPPORT

    Never miss a customer ping.

    The dock badge counts every unread mention until you open it.

  • ENGINEERING

    Screen share from the native app.

    Pick a whole screen or a single window in the desktop screen picker.

  • EXECUTIVES

    A dock badge, not a browser tab.

    System notifications reach you even with every browser tab closed.
