Notes

Important

Some JavaScript is injected to make dark mode and notifications work.

Deprecated since v4.0.0. Prefer More vanilla experience.

---

Important

When Memory Kill Switch is activated and the threshold is chosen, the app checks for its own memory usage every 30 seconds.

---

Important

If MaximizeByDefault key is set to "true" in the config, it overrides RememberPreviousWindowSize key.

---

Caution

For Prefer Dark Mode toggle to work, you need to enable dark theme in WhatsApp first.

• Go to Whatsapp Settings -> Chats -> Theme and choose Dark.
• If enabling the menu option is still breaking the view of the webpage, restart the app completely.

• Dark Mode injection trickery is deprecated from v4.0.0. The toggle is also removed. Dark mode can be enabled inside the webpage, and that setting is persistent enough.

---

Note

Notifications will only show when the app is minimized, hidden, or out of view (in a different virtual desktop). Notifications will not work when the app is hidden and use Less memory is enabled.

---

Note

No support for multiple accounts/profiles. Not planning for it either.

---

Note

If you are doing some intensive work (playing games, compiling gcc...), be mindful of this app. Best to turn off background checking temporarily, or quit app for the duration of the work. If you have too many chats, the app will consume resources and may interfere with your work.

---

Warning

If you opt for use Less Memory, the webpage is temporarily closed. but the app remains in tray. CPU consumption will increase each time the app is opened and the webpage is loaded.

---

Tip

If no Size parameter is set in the config, the app defaults to 1200x800.

---

Tip

I find that when I need to open WhatsApp frequently, best turn off Use Less Memory. It's just one toggle away. Turn it on later.
