Wey is a fast, open-source Slack desktop client built with Node.js and the Yue native UI library, using native widgets with minimal HTML rendering for messages. It is no longer actively maintained; users are directed to the lounge-lizard fork.
Use cases
- use slack on desktop without electron overhead
- lightweight slack client with low ram usage
- native slack app for mac linux and windows
- open source alternative to official slack desktop app

- fast slack client with quick window switching
When to choose
- you want a lightweight native Slack client with low memory footprint
- you prefer open-source desktop apps over Electron-based ones

When to avoid
- you rely on Slack for important work messages, as the project warns of bugs and missing features
