Yapnap

An unofficial desktop app for Yapin' with plugins, themes, settings and contributor badges. It opens the chat in its own window and adds the things a browser tab can't do.

Version 0.1.0 · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit · Portable, nothing to install

What it does

119 plugins

Change message spacing, the sidebar, the member list, calls and colours. Each one switches on or off in Settings.

Settings inside Yapin'

Plugins, themes, general options and roles sit in Yapin's own settings, under a Yapnap section.

Themes

Colour themes, and themes with a PNG or GIF background. Choosing one turns the others off.

Desktop extras

Keeps running in the tray, desktop notifications, a taskbar flash on mentions, and a chat zoom.

Safe mode

Turns every plugin off in one click, without losing your settings, for when something looks wrong.

Contributor badges

Small badges beside the names of people who have helped build Yapnap. Everyone who runs Yapnap sees them.
