### FAQ

**What is Threema?**

Threema is a swiss-made 🇨🇭 communication app like WhatsApp, with end-to-end encryption 🔐. Source code of Threema is also avaliable here.  

**Why this software?**  

I created this application because I wanted a real desktop app for Threema, just like WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.

Also, I added some features to suit my needs. You can request features by opening an issue.

Some features:



Push Notifications

Discord RPC

Redirect to main browser for externals links

Cross-platform (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Dark theme (Using your computer settings)



**How does it works?**

### Installation    

  

Head over latest releases page, then refer to the table below:  

| Windows installer (x86 + x64 + arm64) | Windows portable (x86 + x64 + arm64) | macOS (Intel+Arm)  | Linux (any) |

| --------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------- |

| Threema-For-Desktop-setup-VERSION.exe | Threema-For-Desktop-portable-version | Threema-For-Desktop-mac-universal-VERSION.dmg | Threema-For-Desktop-linux-VERSION.AppImage |

Now, choose your OS:



      

  Windows

  Download the exe file, then run it. Select run anyways on SmartScreen step (code-signing is so expansive...). If you are running the setup file, you need to follow the steps to install Threema For Desktop. You are done!

  

      

  macOS

  Download the dmg file, then it. Drop the Threema For Desktop.app file into Applications folder. Run the .APP file  by following theses steps: Finder > Applications > Right click on Threema For Desktop.app > Open > Open. After that, you will be able to launch Threema For Desktop from Launchpad or Spotlight, but you'll need to do this again everytime you update the app (That's because Apple's code signing is verry expansive...).

  

  

  Linux

  Install AppImage Launcher from here. This will allow you to install Threema For Desktop like another software. Then download AppImage file from releases page. Finally, double click the file. It's done.
