Introduction

Tired of opening Google Messages in a browser tab and then having to search through 1000 tabs when a notification appears? This project leverages your OS's built in notifiation system and acts like a "native" desktop app.

Note: this project is not associated with Google, and I am not affiliated with google in any way.

Build

Make sure you install all the dependencies first with

yarn global add nativefier

To build this app, run

nativefier -n "Google Messages" -i "google-messages-icon.icns" "https://messages.google.com/web"
