Requirements

Installation

Download the installer from "Releases" and run it. WhatsMissing will install itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\WhatsMissing, configuration will be saved to %APPDATA%\WhatsMissing after first start.

WhatsApp shortcuts in the start menu/taskbar/desktop are modified by the installer to start the WhatsMissing executable which in turn starts WhatsApp with the extensions.

Complete uninstallation is possible using "Programs and Features".

How to use

When WhatsApp is running right click the notification icon to open the settings dialog or toggle "Always on top". The menu entries displayed in the notification icon context menu are also accessible using the title bar context menu.

Building

  • Install Lazarus IDE and the tools to crosscompile

To use the build script "Build.bat" you need to configure variables at the top of the file.
