You can use [multiple messaging services](https://itsfoss.com/best-messaging-apps-linux/) like Facebook Messenger, Gmail chats, AOL, Discord, Google Duo, [Viber](https://itsfoss.com/viber-linux-client-beta-install/) 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](https://rambox.pro/?ref=itsfoss.com#ce) 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 ![Rambox Preferences](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/03/rambox-preferences.png) 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](https://rambox.pro/?ref=itsfoss.com#features). 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](https://rambox.pro/?ref=itsfoss.com#ce). If you’re curious, you can refer our guide on how to [use the AppImage file on Linux](https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/). In either case, you can also get it from the [Snap store](https://snapcraft.io/rambox?ref=itsfoss.com). Also, feel free to check their [GitHub releases section](https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/releases?ref=itsfoss.com) for **.deb / .rpm** or other packages. [Download Rambox Community Edition](https://rambox.pro/?ref=itsfoss.com#ce) ## 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](https://itsfoss.com/franz-messaging-app/) 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!
