Basecamp Desktop for Linux

Unofficial Basecamp GNU/Linux desktop client built with Electron.

Features

• Native notifications
• Context menu on links
• Basic UI settings
• Tray icon
  • Unread count badge
  • Left click to show / hide app
  • Right click for tray menu

The application menu is hidden by default, to show it press the alt key.

Privacy

No information is collected or tracked by the application, Electron however will save some data as with any webview. It is possible to purge that information with an in-app function: menu -> file -> 'Clear data' will erase all stored information and cache (any open session will be lost).

Prerequisites

As any GNU/Linux Electron application libappindicator1 is required for tray icon and libnotify for notifications but most likely they are already installed.

Installation

Download the latest release.

Manual build

Required tools:

• Node

• Yarn ^1.5.0

Clone this repo, cd to the local copy and run

yarn install

npm run build:64
