Team Chat
ChatWork on your desktop, inside Franz
Run Chatwork as a desktop app on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with multiple accounts and real notifications, all in one Franz window.

Chatwork is the business chat tool widely used across Japan and beyond, pairing group messaging with task lists so conversations turn into action. If your work runs on Chatwork, it is a tab you keep open all day, and if you collaborate with more than one organisation it is several tabs, each fighting for room in the browser. Franz runs Chatwork as a first-class service tab in a single window, sitting right beside your email and every other messenger, so you stop hunting for the right tab.
Multiple Chatwork accounts in one window
People who work with several companies often have more than one Chatwork account, and a browser makes you sign out of one to reach another. Franz lets you add Chatwork as a separate tab per account and stay logged in to all of them at once. Each tab carries its own session and its own unread badge, so a task assigned in one organisation never gets mistaken for a message in another. Bringing in another account is simply another tab, with no separate browser profiles to wrangle.
Chatwork notifications and task pings
Chatwork blends chat with tasks, and you want to hear about both the moment they land. Franz raises native desktop notifications for Chatwork, including the notification sound, so a direct message or a task assignment pulls your attention right away. The unread badge reflects what is genuinely directed at you rather than every message in a busy group, and it holds steady across each account you connect. A glance at the sidebar tells you which Chatwork is actually waiting on you.
Chatwork on macOS, Windows, and Linux
Franz is a native desktop app for all three platforms, and Chatwork works the same on each: consistent notifications, a dock or taskbar badge, and fast switching between your tabs. Teams spread across operating systems all reach Chatwork the same way, with nothing to relearn from one machine to the next. You keep the complete Chatwork web experience, group chats, tasks, and file sharing included, now as a single tab in the one window where the rest of your work already lives.
