Features

Built for people who juggle accounts

Work, personal and team numbers — without logging out, private windows or a second Mac.

Multiple accounts

Add as many accounts as you need and switch from the sidebar or with ⌘1–⌘9.

Separate by design

Every account uses its own local website data store, so sign-ins and cookies never mix.

Native notifications

Banners and a Dock unread count while the app runs. Pause alerts any time, or hide message previews.

One-click downloads

Attachments and PDFs save straight to Downloads or a folder you choose.

Local archives

Import your own .txt chat exports and read them offline, right beside your live chats.

Keyboard first

Reload, zoom and switch accounts from the keyboard. Optional menu bar access.

Multi-account

Switch accounts without signing out

The sidebar shows every account at a glance. Rename them, reorder them, reset one account's website data or remove it — the others stay untouched.

  • Independent sign-in for each account
  • Unread badges in the sidebar and Dock
  • Hide the sidebar for a focused view

Local archives

Your exported chats, readable offline

Bring in the text exports you already saved. ChatExtra copies them into local storage only; nothing is uploaded to us.

  • UTF-8 .txt exports
  • Stored only on your Mac
  • Delete imported copies any time
