I think beeper does have folders right?

Also the fact is that I don't need AI included into this software.

Its nice that it never touches your server but beeper is also moving forward in that direction and beeper is also open source and uses the matrix protocol so you can actually be free to use any matrix clients.

What about yours? As someone who uses beeper for talking with insta chats with my friends, I have no regrets picking beeper.

Cool, I like to see more innovation in this space.

You obviously have different needs than what Beeper provides, but claiming it's better when you only support a fraction of the networks is a bit steep imo.

Curious what other networks you plan to support and what are your monetization plans?

I really like the addition of folders and CRM features compared to Beeper.

The networks I'm interested in are Telegram (you already got that), Signal, Instagram, Matrix, Threema, Slack and Teams (in that order).

I don't think Beeper is Open Source. They published some of their bridges, but the client is closed source afaik.
