Desktop App
Native application for Windows, macOS and Linux with System Tray, notifications and context menu integration.
The SendMeSafe Desktop App brings all features directly to your desktop. Receive native notifications about new messages, share files instantly via the context menu, and always keep track of unread messages with the System Tray badge. The app starts automatically with your system and runs in the background - close the window and it minimizes to the tray. Automatic updates ensure you always have the latest version.
