Chatpane Files

Carrier is now Chatpane, and it speaks 30 languages.

What's New

• Chatpane. Same app, new name, at chatpane.app. Updating keeps your login, settings, themes and start-at-login choice. On macOS the app renames itself to Chatpane.app, and macOS asks once more for permission to show notifications and to use the camera and microphone.
• 30 languages. Menus, notifications, dialogs and Settings follow your system language, or pick one in Settings → General → Language. Arabic and Urdu read right to left, and the macOS menu bar uses Apple's own wording.
• Choose your notification sound. The system default, one of your system's own sounds, or a sound file of your own, with a preview.
• Export a chat from the chat list. Right-click a conversation and choose Export chat, as HTML or JSON.
• Start at login shows the real state. Settings now reflects whether your system really starts Chatpane, also after you switch it off there. On macOS 13 and later it's a normal Open at Login item.
• Tiling window managers on Linux. Window controls follow each window's tiled or floating state on Hyprland, sway, river, niri and others.
• Share Chatpane. Copy a short message about Chatpane to send to a friend, or star it on GitHub, from Settings or the Help menu.

Bug Fixes

• Notification sounds play on Linux desktops whose notification server ignores sound hints.

Package managers

• Homebrew: brew upgrade moves the carrier cask to chatpane.
• AUR: install chatpane; it replaces carrier.
• .deb and .rpm: the Chatpane package replaces Carrier's. The command is now chatpane.
