Download DueChat
Get the desktop app for your platform. One download, all your rooms, calls and buddies.
Desktop app notes
The desktop app wraps the live web app at app.duechat.com, so an internet connection is required. Most features work the same as in your browser; Google OAuth may need a browser sign-in first. Extract the archive and run the DueChat executable inside.
macOS “cannot be opened” warning
Because the app is not code-signed with an Apple Developer ID, macOS may show “DueChat cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.” To run it, right-click the DueChat app and choose Open, then click Open again in the dialog. Alternatively, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to the DueChat block notice.
Microphone and camera on macOS
The first time you join a voice room or turn your cam on, macOS asks for microphone and camera access — choose Allow. If you dismissed it earlier, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone (and Camera) and switch DueChat on, then relaunch the app. Moving DueChat to your Applications folder before first launch keeps those permissions stable.
Microphone and camera on Windows & Linux
On Windows 10/11, open Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone (and Camera) and make sure Let desktop apps access your microphone/camera is on, then relaunch DueChat. On Linux, your user must be in the video and audio groups and no other app may be holding the device. If a call still shows no devices, close other video apps and restart DueChat.
