Electronic WeChat
An unofficial, feature-enhanced desktop client for WeChat on macOS and Linux, built with Electron.
What is Electronic WeChat?
Electronic WeChat was an unofficial desktop client for the WeChat messaging service, built using Electron. It provided macOS and Linux users with a dedicated application that enhanced the standard Web WeChat experience with additional features like blocking message recalls, better sticker support, and a more native desktop feel. The project aimed to fill a gap when official desktop support from Tencent was limited or unsatisfactory.
WeChat users on macOS or Linux who wanted a better desktop experience than the official web client or the basic official desktop app, and who valued features like preventing message deletion by others.
It offered a free, open-source alternative with user-experience enhancements not found in the official WeChat desktop clients, such as blocking message recalls and improved sharing capabilities, all packaged in a native-feeling application.
