ZapFast

ZapFast is a free, open-source WhatsApp desktop client developed with Rust and egui. It provides a native messaging experience without relying on an embedded browser engine. Users can link their WhatsApp accounts through QR code scanning or phone number pairing. The application supports text messages, attachments, voice messages, stickers, reactions, polls, and message forwarding. Multiple WhatsApp accounts can be accessed within the same window. Conversations are stored in an encrypted local archive, with older messages retrieved as users scroll. Additional features include chat history exporting, keyboard shortcuts, desktop notifications, and customizable themes. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ZapFast emphasizes fast startup, efficient resource usage, and local data privacy.
