Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Petrus, the developer behind RunMessenger.
I built RunMessenger because I missed the simple feeling of classic instant messaging — seeing your friends come online, starting a conversation, sending a nudge, and just knowing who was around.
So I decided to bring that feeling back, but rebuild it for 2026. 💬
RunMessenger combines the nostalgic messenger experience with modern features like groups, GIFs, activity status, themes, desktop notifications, PWA support and a Community for public discussions.
You can use it instantly on the web or download it for Windows and Mac.
I’d love to hear from you:
**What is the one feature or memory from classic messengers that you miss the most?**
And if you try RunMessenger, please tell me what you think — feedback, ideas and even criticism are very welcome. 🚀
