WasIstLos is an unofficial WhatsApp desktop client for Linux, written in C++ using gtkmm and WebKitGTK to wrap WhatsApp Web. It adds desktop integrations such as a system tray icon, notifications, autostart, spell checking, and localization on top of the web experience.
Use cases
- use whatsapp on linux without a browser
- get whatsapp desktop app for my linux distro
- whatsapp with system tray icon and notifications on linux
- run whatsapp web as a native-feeling desktop app
- autostart whatsapp when my linux session starts
- spell-check whatsapp messages in my system language
When to choose
- you use Linux and want a dedicated WhatsApp desktop app with tray icon and notifications
- you prefer a lightweight native GTK wrapper over keeping a browser tab open
- you want WhatsApp Web features plus desktop integration like autostart and zoom
When to avoid
- you need an official, WhatsApp-supported client (this is unofficial and could break with API changes)
- you are not on Linux — it targets Linux desktops specifically
- you need features beyond what WhatsApp Web offers, like multi-account support
