Mac Messenger is a macOS desktop wrapper around Facebook’s standalone Messenger web experience, packaged as a native Mac app-style project. The goal is to give Messenger users a dedicated desktop container so Messenger can behave more like a first-class app instead of living in a browser tab. It is explicitly presented as an unofficial hobby project rather than an official Facebook product, which helps set expectations around support and long-term maintenance. Because it wraps the web experience, the main value is convenience: a separate window, an app icon, and a more “desktop-like” way to keep Messenger open while working. The repository includes the macOS project structure and related assets needed to build and run the wrapper on Mac systems. In short, it’s an example of a pragmatic “web app to desktop app” packaging approach for Messenger on macOS.
