Rambox 0.5.12

There are so many messaging services around, from Skype and Hangouts to Rocket Chat, that it can be difficult to keep up. Those who prefer to use multiple services know what a pain it can be to constantly switch between applications and windows to conduct business and handle personal matters. Having everything in one place would be super convenient, right? There's actually an app that not only combines messaging and email applications, but serves as an organized platform to make communicating online a bit easier: Rambox.

Using Rambox

Downloading and installing Rambox is a very simple and quick process, and the messaging application is completely free to use. Once you open it up you'll have the option to choose which services you use, and they will be added to your screen. A large number of messaging and email applications and programs are available to use via Rambox including Outlook, Gmail, Hangouts, DingTalk, ChatWork, Skype, and so many more. Once a service is added to your Rambox account, you'll see a notification -- as long as the app supports notifications -- anytime you have a new message or alert. There are also badges displayed at the top of the Rambox screen that let you know which programs, services, and applications have new alerts for you to check.

In addition, Rambox serves as a messaging application itself and is a very efficient way to organize all of the programs and services that you use. You can reorder and group your messaging and email apps, which is quite handy if you use specific programs for different purposes such as work, school, or personal chatting. There's also the option to activate a "Don't Disturb" setting if you want to disable all audible and visual notifications.

You can sync your configurations if you want to use Rambox on more than one computer. The program continuously runs in the system tray and is easy to access whenever you want to check your notifications or start a chat session. Rambox is available to download on Macs and PCs running Windows or Linux.

Conclusion

This messaging application works well and is a great tool to have if you use several different email and chat programs at any given time, which is the case for most people. It's free, has an attractive interface that's very easy to understand, and it takes the hassle out of jugging apps. It's well worth a try if you regularly email or use messaging clients on your PC.
