Beeper
One inbox for all your chats
Beeper is a universal chat app that brings messaging services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, X, Google Messages, Google Chat, Google Voice, LinkedIn, Discord and Slack into a single inbox. It is part of Automattic and is built on the open source Matrix protocol. With On-Device Connections, messages are sent directly from the user's device to the networks, preserving end-to-end encryption where the network supports it; older integrations use Beeper Cloud, which stores chat history with zero-access encryption.
Core capabilities include sending and receiving messages, group chats, contacts, image and video sharing, emoji reactions, stickers, replies, disappearing messages, broadcast channels and threads, with availability varying by network. Beeper supports multiple devices across macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS, and offers reminders, scheduling, incognito mode, voice note transcription and custom app icons. The bridges are open source and can be self-hosted.
Beeper is free for up to five accounts, with optional paid subscriptions: Beeper Plus adds multiple accounts, send later, reminders, incognito mode, voice note transcription, custom icons and up to ten total accounts, while Beeper Plus Plus offers unlimited accounts.
