## What it is
IGdm is a multi-platform desktop application for Instagram direct messages, built with Electron. It lets users send, receive, and manage Instagram DMs outside the official app or website.

- see who unfollowed me on Instagram
- use Instagram DMs on Windows, Mac, or Linux

## When to choose
- you want a dedicated desktop client for Instagram DMs
- you prefer native-style chat over the Instagram web interface
- you need cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)

## When to avoid
