You can use [multiple messaging services][2] like Facebook Messenger, Gmail chats, AOL, Discord, Google Duo, [Viber][3] and a lot more from the same interface. + +This way, you don’t need to install individual apps or keep them opened in browser all the time. You can use a master password to lock the Rambox application. You can also use do not disturb feature. + +Rambox offers an [open source community edition][4] which is free to use. The paid pro version gives you access to 600+ apps while the community addition has 99+ apps. Pro version has additional features like themes, hibernation, ad-block, spell check and premium support. + +Don’t worry. The open source community edition itself is quite useful and you may not even need those pro features. + +### Features of Rambox + +![][5] + +While you should find most of the essential features in the open-source edition, you might notice some of them limited to the pro version. + +Here, I’ve mentioned all the essential features available: + + * You get about 100 apps/services to choose from in the open-source edition + * Ability to protect the app with a single Master password lock + * Ability to lock each session that you load up + * Do Not Disturb mode + * Ability to sync apps and configuration across multiple devices. + * You can create and add custom apps + * Support for keyboard shortcuts + * Ability to enable/disable apps without needing to delete them + * JS & CSS injection support to tweak the styling of apps + * Ad-block (**pro version**) + * Hibernation support (**pro version**) + * Theme support (**pro version**) + * Mobile view **(pro version)** + * Spell check **(pro version)** + * Work hours – to schedule a time for incoming notifications **(pro version)** + * Proxies support **(pro version)** + + + +In addition to what I’ve listed here, you might find some more features in the Rambox Pro edition. To know more about it, you can refer to the [official list of features][6]. + +It is also worth noting that you cannot have more than 3 active simultaneous device connections. + +### Installing Rambox on Linux + +You can easily get started using Rambox using the **.AppImage** file available on the [official download page][4]. If you’re curious, you can refer our guide on how to [use the AppImage file on Linux][7]. + +In either case, you can also get it from the [Snap store][8]. Also, feel free to check their [GitHub releases section][9] for **.deb / .rpm** or other packages. + +[Download Rambox Community Edition][4] + +### Wrapping Up + +It can be a little overwhelming to have a lot of apps installed using Rambox. So, I’d suggest you monitor the RAM usage when adding more apps and using them for work. + +There is also a similar app called [Franz][10] which is also part open source and part premium like Rambox. + +Even though solutions like Rambox or Franz are quite useful, they aren’t always resource-friendly, specially if you start using tens of services at the same time. So, keep an eye on your system resources (if you notice a performance impact). + +Otherwise, it’s an impressive app that does the work that you’d expect. Have you tried it out? Feel free to let me know your thoughts! + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/rambox/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/rambox-ce.jpg?ssl=1 +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/best-messaging-apps-linux/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/viber-linux-client-beta-install/ +[4]: https://rambox.pro/#ce +[5]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/rambox-preferences.png?ssl=1 +[6]: https://rambox.pro/#features +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ +[8]: https://snapcraft.io/rambox +[9]: https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/releases +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/franz-messaging-app/
