Buzzr: Native Beeper Client for Windows ⚡

Buzzr is an unofficial native Windows 11 desktop client for Beeper, the unified messaging platform.
It aggregates all your chats (Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, Messenger, and more) into a single, beautiful WinUI 3 interface.
Built from scratch with a Go sidecar bridge that handles the Matrix protocol, so you get real-time messaging with a native Windows experience.

Warning

Buzzr is currently in early development. Expect rough edges. Breaking changes may happen between versions.
