## What it is
Rambox Community Edition is a free, open-source, cross-platform desktop app that combines common web messaging and email services (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Gmail, Outlook, Discord, and many more) into a single Electron-based application. It organizes services into workspaces with notifications, badges, and multi-account support, but is now end-of-life in favor of the commercial Rambox.

## Use cases
- combine whatsapp slack telegram and gmail into one desktop app
- manage multiple accounts of the same messaging service side by side
- stop juggling dozens of browser tabs for chat and email tools
- organize work apps into separate workspaces per client or project
- get unified notifications and unread badges across all my chat apps
- add a custom web app as a service in a unified workspace

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source, self-contained desktop aggregator for web chat and email services
- you need multi-account/multi-instance support for the same service
- you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux and want one app instead of many tabs

## When to avoid
- you need maintained software with security updates - this edition is end-of-life since 2022
- you want the latest features like workspaces and session sync, which require the commercial Rambox
- you need services not supported as preloaded or custom web apps
