What Beeper is
Beeper gathers conversations from more than 10 chat networks into one inbox. Listed connections include WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Facebook Messenger, X, Google Messages, Google Chat, Google Voice, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, LINE, Tumblr DMs, and iMessage on macOS. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS. Supported chat features include messages, contacts, group chats, media, reactions, stickers, replies, disappearing messages, broadcast channels, and threads, although availability varies by network. On-Device Connections send messages directly between your device and supported networks; older cloud connections store chat history on Beeper servers with zero-access encryption. Beeper says its integrations are open source and offers self-hosting, but provides no technical support for that option. Some actions, including video calls, require opening the native app. The free plan costs nothing for five accounts; Plus is 9.99 USD monthly for ten, and Plus Plus is 49.99 USD monthly with unlimited accounts per network.
Who it suits
Beeper suits people who want multiple listed messaging services in one app across desktop and mobile platforms. Self-hosting may suit users who prefer not to use hosted cloud connections.
