What is Ferdi?

Ferdi is a destkop app that helps you organize how you use your favourite apps by combining them into one application. It is based on Franz - a software already used by thousands of people - with the difference that Ferdi gives you many additional features and doesn't restrict its usage! Ferdi is compatible with your existing Franz account so you can continue right where you left off. Find out more about Ferdi and its features on getferdi.com.

Features

  • Ferdi puts all your web apps into one place
  • Native support for 100+ services
  • Workspaces to keep your personal and work life separated
  • Support for multiple accounts on any service
  • Dark Mode support for all of your services
  • Optional cloud sync to keep your services synchronized between devices
  • Better control over when you get which notifications
  • Cross-platform so you can view your services on all your computers
  • Full proxy support to work in every network environment
  • Ferdi speaks your language: Support for 20+ languages

...and best of all:

  • Its completely free! There are no restrictions on features, no paywalls

Download Ferdi

You can download Ferdi for Windows, Mac and Linux on Ferdi's download page or you can find all variants in the latest stable release assets and all the other release here.

Or use Chocolatey (Windows only)

$ choco install ferdi

(Don't know Chocolatey? chocolatey.org)

Or use homebrew (macOS only)

$ brew install --cask ferdi

(Don't know homebrew? brew.sh)

Or use AUR (Arch Linux)

Ferdi has three separate AUR packages you can use:

  • ferdi: Uses your system electron version to run the latest release - this version will work best on most systems.
  • ferdi-bin: Uses the latest Fedora release and extracts it to Arch. Use this version if you are having trouble with the ferdi package.
  • ferdi-git: Uses your system electron version to run the latest commit from the develop branch and may be unstable but may also give you features that are not yet available in other versions. Please only use ferdi-git if you accept these risks.

If you use an AUR Helper e.g. yay, simply install it via yay -S ferdi.

What makes Ferdi different from Franz?

Removes unproductive paywalls and other other interruptions

  • Removes the counter-productive fullscreen app delay inviting users to upgrade
  • Removes pages begging you to donate after registration
  • Removes "Franz is better together" popup

Development

Install OS dependencies

Node.js

Please make sure you are running NodeJS v10 or above.

Git

The version 2.23.0 for Git is working fine for development. You can then use the console from Git to do the development procedure.

Debian/Ubuntu

$ apt install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxss-dev libxkbfile-dev

Fedora

$ dnf install libX11-devel libXext-devel libXScrnSaver-devel libxkbfile-devel

Windows

Please make sure you run this command as an administrator:

$ npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015

Clone repository with submodule

$ git clone https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi.git
$ cd ferdi
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

It is important you execute the last command to get the required submodules (recipes, server).

Install dependencies

Run the following command to install all dependencies, and link sibling modules with Ferdi.

$ npx lerna bootstrap

If you previously ran npm install it sometimes is necessary to delete your node_modules folder before running npx lerna bootstrap. If you encounter the gyp: No Xcode or CLT version error on macOS at this step, please have a look here.

Fix native modules to match current electron node version

$ npm run rebuild

Package recipe repository

Ferdi requires its recipes to be packaged before it can use it. When running Ferdi as a development instance, you'll need to package the local recipes before you can create any services inside Ferdi.

$ cd recipes
$ npm install && npm run package

Start development app

Run these two commands simultaneously in different terminals:

$ npm run dev
$ DEBUG=Ferdi:* npm run start

Optionally, you can run both commands in one terminal with misty (see misty.yml):

$ DEBUG=Ferdi:* npx misty

Note: please prefer debug() over console.log().

Packaging

$ npm run build

Assets will be available in the out folder.

Release

Create a new draft release that targets the release branch, then:

$ git checkout develop && git pull
$ git checkout release
$ git submodule update --remote --force
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Update submodules"
$ git merge --no-ff develop
$ git push

Once the draft release assets are uploaded (13 assets), publish the release. The last commit of the release branch will be tagged. You can then merge release into master and back into develop if needed.

Nightly releases

Nightly releases are automaticly triggered every day (details) and available in getferdi/nightlies. Maintainers still need to manually publish the draft releases as pre-releases for now.
