About

Messenger X is a lightweight, cross-platform desktop client for Facebook Messenger built with Tauri v2 and Rust. It provides native desktop notifications, system tray integration, offline mode with cached snapshots, auto-updates, and a clean WebView-powered interface — filling the gap left by Facebook discontinuing the official Messenger desktop app.
