Franz Products

Franz is a free messaging app that combines chat and messaging services into one application. It is designed to streamline communication by integrating various platforms into a single interface, making it easier for users to manage their conversations.

Key Features

Franz supports a wide range of business and private messaging services, including Slack, WhatsApp, WeChat, Messenger, Telegram, Google Hangouts, Skype, and Zendesk. This versatility makes it suitable for both personal use and professional environments, such as multi-seat customer care teams.

One of the standout features of Franz is the ability to add each service multiple times. This allows users to manage multiple business and private accounts simultaneously. For example, users can operate five different Facebook Messenger accounts at once if needed.

Workspaces and Task Management

Franz offers the ability to set up multiple sets of services and switch between them easily. This feature helps create distraction-free work environments by ensuring users only receive the notifications relevant to their current project. Setting up different workspaces for business and private life can also help maintain a healthy work-life balance.

In any messaging service used within Franz, users can select a word or sentence in a message and turn it into a to-do list item with just two clicks. This functionality helps users stay on top of their tasks by organizing them into different lists, assigning priorities, and separating work and personal tasks.

Team Collaboration

Franz for Teams allows users to manage Premium subscriptions for colleagues, friends, or family members from within one account. Users can invite co-workers to their team by sending email invitations and manage their subscriptions in the account preferences. This feature simplifies the process of setting up subscriptions for team members and consolidates invoices and billing cycles.

Additional Features

Franz is available in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. The Franz community continuously helps expand its language capabilities. Other notable features include desktop notifications, dark mode, fine-grained notification control, cloud sync, extensibility with over 1000 service integrations created by the community, multiple instances of services, service proxies for privacy protection, cross-platform support for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and a spellchecker.
