Altus is an Electron-based WhatsApp client with themes and multiple account support, available for Windows, Mac and Linux!

VSCode is an excellent use case - a complex cross-platform IDE with a very quick release cycle, a large plugin ecosystem and a requirement for display and processing of a lot of different types of markup. But I’ve also seen a tray notification app built in Electron. An SD-card formatter. A “quick” launcher. I am building an electron tray app for Mac OS. Everything seems okay, but if I run the app on one desktop and then switch to another, when I click on app icon, app returns me back to place where it was launched.

Features

Altus uses the GitHub-produced Electron framework to wrap around WhatsApp Web and add extra features to it.

Multiple Account Support: As of v2.0, you can use multiple WhatsApp accounts simultaneously!
Native notification support for all of the platforms. Clicking the notification opens that specific chat!
Online Indicator: Shows an indicator at the bottom-left corner of the chats that are online!
Dark mode for when you need to chill out your eyes in the night (or even in the day)
Custom Theme Support: Write your own CSS theme for WhatsApp or use the in-built Theme Customizer to create a new one just by picking colors!
Available for most desktop platforms including Windows (7 or above), Linux and MacOS.
Tray icon so you can minimize the app completely and still receive notifications.

- If you chose 'Only for me', then the default folder will be C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalProgramsAltus which you can change if you want.
Click Install. If it asks for admin privileges (UAC), click Yes
The installation will Altus will be installed to the path according to what you selected. You can select Run Altus if you want to start Altus after closing the setup.

Linux

I recommend using the .AppImage format since it allows you to use that single executable on the majority of Linux distributions. I am also not going to create .deb executables anymore since they aren't universal and are proprietary to Debian distributions unlike .AppImage executables which work on almost all of the distributions.

Installing Altus on Linux using AppImage is really easy. Follow these steps:

Download and move the AppImage file to wherever you want to. E.g: ~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage
You might need to make the file executable using chmod. Use: chmod a+x ~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage
Then simply run it. Use: ~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage

Mac

One thing to note is that Mac releases most probably will be late than the Windows and Linux releases as I do not own a Mac and my PC runs really slow when I use macOS on a VM.

To install Altus on a Mac, follow these steps:

Download the .dmg file
Double-click it i.e. run it
Drag the Altus icon onto the Applications folder
Let it copy
Done!
