Motivation

Inspired by Rambox and Franz, I created ElectronIM out of the necessity for an all-in-one instant messaging app that did not require registration, provided spell checking for free, and ensured maximum user privacy by never tracking user activity or sending telemetry data. With built-in screen sharing and strict privacy principles, ElectronIM offers a secure and flexible communication hub.
