Chirp

Go Native GTK4/libadwaita Google Messages client for GNOME Linux.

Chirp is a fully native Google Messages desktop client for GNOME. Pair it with your phone via a QR code and your texts arrive on the desktop with iMessage-style chat bubbles, inline media, dual-SIM selection, and real-time delivery. A local SQLite cache means the whole conversation history is ready the instant you open the app — no spinner, no browser, no Electron.
