Rocket Chat Mac App

Windows, Mac and Linux Software

Connect to the Rocket.Chat server and log in to your account. To start using the Rocket.Chat app you must make sure that you have access to a Rocket.Chat web chat server. The server side has been developed in JavaScript with the help of the Meteor Framework, and you can view details about the deployment process on the GitHub project page. Rocket.Chat Apps is an exciting new feature which allow you to customize Rocket.Chat without forking Rocket.Chat (think advanced integrations but better). General App discussion happens here.
