Comments and Reviews
Station is a good app. Similar to alternatives Franz and Rambox - all of them are basically beefed up, specialized Electron-based browsers.
So the upside is a great cross-platform "browsing" (web viewing) experience (Electron is based off Chromium), the downside is memory and CPU consumption.
Compared to its alternatives, Station aims to be more than just a unified chat app, and has a few extra features such as 'apps' (the currently underutilized option to add special functionality to each site), subpages and separately toggled notifications for each app.
It's a great next step in the evolution of the Web - since webpages turned into web apps that need to be open all the time just like regular desktop apps, web browsers fell behind with functionality. They are trying to keep up (e.g. container tabs coming in Firefox or we already have pinned tabs), but they are still primarily tailored for browsing and not work, despite the fact that many people primarily do their work inside web apps.
Station lets you focus on the work part and keep the web browser for actually finding and viewing new content. No more opening-closing-checking-reloading-forgetting etc.
At the moment of this writing, Station is a new startup that recently got funded to develop into a more mature app. The company is still in its infancy, the app is free (but not open-source) and the exact way of its future monetization is unknown. Hopefully it will become a successful product with a nice community that both individuals and businesses will happily use.
Efficient, privacy-respecting, open-source
No need to unmount!!!
The horse seems not to be dead yet.
A new Version of Station (v2.1.0) has been released on May 06, 2023.
Waiting for macOS version ....
This application is no longer being maintained. Outdated enough that it will not connect to many services
A good open-source alternative for privacy-focused workspace management.
Nice free way of staying logged in to a lot of my frequently-used webapps without cluttering up my browser with them. Get email, tasks, music, calendaring out of the browser and only focus on them when you need!
Look and feel are great, have support for lot of apps, but you can´t add 2 whatsapp account for example regulara whatsapp an business so is a deal breaker if you look for that function.
