About

Messenger X is a lightweight, cross-platform desktop client for Facebook Messenger built with Tauri v2 and Rust. It provides native desktop notifications, system tray integration, offline mode with cached snapshots, auto-updates, and a clean WebView-powered interface — filling the gap left by Facebook discontinuing the official Messenger desktop app.

Security

No known CVEs for Messenger X.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
