About

Caprine is an unofficial, privacy-focused, and open-source Facebook Messenger application, developed in Norway and available for free on Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. As a single-product offering, it provides a robust alternative to the official Messenger app and other web wrappers, integrating directly with Facebook Messenger while offering unique features such as dark mode, custom text size, and enhanced privacy controls like disabling read receipts. Its open-source nature allows for community engagement, including suggesting and voting on new features. While highly praised by users for its superior functionality and not feeling like a 'cheap messenger.com wrapper,' some feedback indicates it can be buggy and resource-intensive, positioning it as a strong niche competitor in the chat client market.
