Workplace on your desktop, inside Franz

Workplace from Meta is your company's internal network: the chat, the group threads, the announcements that keep a whole organisation in the loop. It looks and feels like the consumer apps from Meta, which is exactly why it gets lost among personal tabs and forgotten until someone asks why you missed a post. Franz runs Workplace from Meta as its own desktop service, signed in alongside the rest of your chat, so the place your company talks sits in your sidebar instead of buried in the same browser as everything else.

Your company's Workplace alongside your other chat

Franz loads the full Workplace chat experience as a first-class service tab, so direct messages, group conversations, and the company feed are all one click away with their own unread badge. Because each organisation runs Workplace at its own {yourcompany}.workplace.com address, adding it is as simple as typing your subdomain: enter acme and Franz connects you to acme.workplace.com. The point is keeping Workplace next to the other places you talk all day, so the internal company channel does not get isolated in a tab you only remember to check after the fact. The tab keeps its own signed-in session, separate from any personal Meta accounts open elsewhere.

Notifications you actually notice

An internal network only does its job if you see the message meant for you. Franz surfaces native desktop notifications for Workplace from Meta, including the notification sound, so a direct message or a mention in a group pulls your attention the same way the standalone app would. The unread badge reflects what is genuinely aimed at you rather than every post in a busy company feed, so a glance at the sidebar tells you whether something needs a reply. When you are heads-down in other work, the count stays accurate, so the announcement you needed to see does not pass you by.

Workplace on macOS, Windows, and Linux

Franz is a native desktop app for all three major platforms, and Workplace from Meta behaves the same on each: the same chat, the same login, real desktop notifications, and a dock or taskbar presence with quick switching to your other services. Whether your company runs on Macs, Windows machines, or Linux, your Workplace tab is set up identically, so your internal comms travel with you across machines. It turns Workplace from a browser tab that blends into your personal ones into a clear, dependable part of your work desktop.
