I’m looking for an alternative to signal-desktop, with the following conditions:
- Designed for desktop (GUI or TUI, notification support, runs in background)
- Runs as main device, not requiring a linked signal app
- Supports most of the signal features (group chats, disappearing messages, usernames)
- Preferably integrated with pidgin, thunderbird, or another gui that I’m already using.
Does such an app exist? I have seen many forks of Signal, but most of them also seem to be for android. Previously, I had used signal-cli with an official copy of signal-desktop, but this is not satisfactory for a few reasons, mainly about the “remember to connect on your phone before 30 days” error.
