The official native desktop client for Mattermost, built on Electron and running on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It wraps Mattermost servers with desktop integration such as notifications, unread badges, multi-server tabs, and deep linking.

Use cases

  • use mattermost on my desktop without a browser
  • connect to multiple mattermost servers in one app
  • get desktop notifications for mattermost mentions
  • run mattermost in the background with unread badges
  • open mattermost links directly in a native app
  • deploy a pre-configured mattermost desktop app to my company

When to choose

  • your team self-hosts Mattermost and wants a native desktop experience
  • you need multi-server support, tabs, and OS-level notifications
  • you want an open-source, cross-platform chat client

When to avoid

  • you use Slack, Teams, or another chat platform instead of Mattermost
  • you only need Mattermost occasionally in a browser
  • you need a mobile client rather than desktop
