# Ferdium Application: Ferdium community Also called ferdium app, ferdi fork Ferdium community, Productivity A community fork of Ferdi/Franz that hosts many chat sites in one window. The process is Ferdium.exe. ## What you need to know Ferdium wraps many chat sites. It is not Rambox. Ferdium.exe is a community Franz/Ferdi fork. Rambox.exe is a different workspace app. Native messenger exes are still separate products. - **What is it?**: Workspace messenger **Still current?**: Yes, see Current status **Official download?**: Use the vendor link in this article Feex says If Ferdium.exe is huge, I would count the services you added. This is a site wrapper, not Rambox, and not native WhatsApp.exe by itself. ## What is Ferdium? Ferdium is an Electron shell that embeds many chat sites. The Windows executable is Ferdium.exe. It is not Rambox and not a single messenger. ## If you have never used it If you want WhatsApp, Slack, and mail in one window, this is Ferdium, a community fork of Ferdi and Franz. It is not Rambox. Download it from ferdium.org. The process is Ferdium.exe. Each service is still that website inside the shell. ## What is it used for? **Many messengers in one window** WhatsApp Web, Slack, and others as services. WhatsApp.exe is still a different native client if you also installed that. **Community recipes** Ferdium services are site wrappers. A broken recipe is a Ferdium issue, not a Windows service. **A Franz/Ferdi upgrade path** Old Ferdi users were pointed here. Rambox is a different company. ## Who is it for? - People who outgrew a pile of chat tabs - Users migrating from Ferdi or Franz - Anyone comparing it with Rambox ## Current status Ferdium (2022) is a current workspace messenger from Ferdium community. The vendor still points Windows users at https://ferdium.org/. ## How old is it? Franz started the multi-chat shell. Ferdi forked it. Ferdium forked Ferdi in 2022 after Ferdi stalled. It is a 2020s community continuation, not a 2016 Rambox-only story. ## Versions Major channels first. Exact build numbers are not all verified here. Current Windows build ## System requirements Values follow the publisher's public guidance. Workload still changes the real need. ### Minimum | Operating system | A current supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 release, per the vendor | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | RAM | Enough for Windows plus this app. Heavy projects want more. | ## Resource profile - **CPU demand**: Follows what you open inside the app **RAM demand**: Follows documents, tabs, or libraries ## Installed processes These executables belong to this product when it is installed. | Ferdium.exe | Main Windows executable | | ----------- | ----------------------- | ## Startup components Ferdium can start with Windows from its own setting so all services reconnect. ## File locations | Typical install | C:\Users\\\\AppData\Local\Programs\Ferdium\\ | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ## File formats whatever the wrapped sites use ## Common problems ### A site login loop inside a service That is the wrapped website. Clear that service in Ferdium before you reinstall Windows. ### People uninstall Rambox to remove Ferdium They are separate apps. Ferdium.exe stays. ## Getting unstuck ### Install from ferdium.org A Ferdi 2021 exe is stale. Ferdium is the current community fork. ### Check GitHub issues for a broken recipe github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app is the project tracker. Rambox Freshdesk is the other vendor. ### Quit Ferdium.exe from the tray Wrapped sites can keep the Electron host awake. ## Alternatives Rambox if you want that commercial workspace. Wavebox if you want a Chromium workspace browser. Native WhatsApp or Slack if you only need one chat. ## Official help and downloads Start with the vendor.
