# Android Messages™ Desktop ![master status](https://github.com/OrangeDrangon/android-messages-desktop/actions/workflows/master.yml/badge.svg)

Run Android Messages as a desktop app, a la iMessage. For those of us that prefer not to have a browser tab always open for this sort of thing.

Inspired by:

- [Google Play Music Desktop Player](https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-)

- [a Reddit post on r/Android](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/8shv6q/web_messages/e106a8r/)

**Important Note 1:** We currently have builds for Windows and macOS, and Linux. I test releases on Arch Linux and to a lesser degree Windows. I would love help testing in additional places.

**Important Note 2:** Neither the MacOS nor the Windows binaries are signed right now. I am willing to add this but I do not have the certificates required at this time.

# Install Anywhere

Download your build from the [releases](https://github.com/OrangeDrangon/android-messages-desktop/releases/latest) page.

# Install on Archlinux via AUR

`yay -S android-messages-desktop-bin` or the relevant command in your aur helper.

# Install on MacOS via Homebrew

`brew install --cask orangedrangon-android-messages`

# Install on Windows via Scoop

`scoop bucket add extras && scoop install android-messages`
