Caprine

Regardless of whether it is the chatting, the possibility to catch up with former colleagues from college and old friends or the sharing of information, there are numerous reasons why millions of people are active on Facebook.

Caprine is a utility that enables you to instantly send and receive messages from your friends without you having to log in and keep a tab with Facebook opened in your browser.

First off, it goes without saying that you cannot take advantage of the IM service unless you have or create a Facebook account. After you introduce your user and password, the application automatically displays a list with all your open conversations.

The interface is organized in 3 panels, where you can preview the list of friends and groups, the conversation log and more details about a certain user or category. As expected, the UI is very similar to the Facebook chat, meaning that it comes with the same fresh and stylish blue-and-white theme.

You can view, edit, close chats that you have with one of your friends or group conversations. Rest assured that if you want to start a new conversation, you can easily do that just as you would on Facebook.

Caprine allows you to access all the features and options you commonly use when chatting on Facebook. More exactly, you can seamlessly send photos, videos and files by simply dragging them into the dedicated field. You can preview a list of the files you send to groups or a single user by accessing the conversation.

It is necessary to mention that you can activate your notifications and receive alerts when you get an answer back or a new message. On the other hand, if you want to block a user or make modifications to your Facebook account, you need to do so from the browser. It would be nice if you could do it from within the app.

Caprine enables you to use all the chat options and features that you have access to in the browser and brings the possibility to better manage friends and conversations.
