Hi HN! Excited to share early access to Amber.

I’ve tried every all-in-one messenger out there (Beeper included) but they always fell short. No real folders, no AI, clunky UI, no CRM features… As a founder who speaks with hundreds of people every quarter, I needed something better. So I decided to rebuild the entire experience from ground up.

Thoughts from one of our users: "The app I've been searching for for a looong time."

Check it out for free today!

Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/8b5bc80b9893436b9190ae41fc3f0f50

Features: - All messages (Whatsapp, Telegram, iMessage) unified in a beautifully crafted interface. - Split inboxes (folders) to effortlessly focus on work, friends, a particular project.. whatever matters the most right now. - Mark read – no read receipts (even on Whatsapp and Telegram), mark done only when you’re done. - Personal CRM: a lightweight private database of knowledge about each person with (optional) AI pulling important facts straight from conversations. (the latter is coming soon) - Command bar + shortcuts. - Send later + reminders.

Everything is securely stored on-device. All messages are end-to-end encrypted and go straight from your device to the network of choice – never touching our servers.

Cool, I like to see more innovation in this space.

You obviously have different needs than what Beeper provides, but claiming it's better when you only support a fraction of the networks is a bit steep imo.

Curious what other networks you plan to support and what are your monetization plans?

I really like the addition of folders and CRM features compared to Beeper.

The networks I'm interested in are Telegram (you already got that), Signal, Instagram, Matrix, Threema, Slack and Teams (in that order).

Me too. Even if a lot of the innovation is what we already had with pidgin or trillian years ago. but i love that the walled gardens get torn down a bit. More, please.
