ChatGrape developers claim that they’ve recently been receiving more and more requests from user asking to turn ChatGrape into an application for Windows Desktop. The company decided to respond to the feedback and came up with not one, but two solutions.

If you can’t help but like the old school Windows look, you have the option of moving ChatGrape’s icon to the task bar, meaning the group of shortcuts right next to the Start menu. What you need to do is this:
- Open up your Internet browser (Internet Explorer 11-tested);
- Go to your profile in the web-version of the messaging app (yoursubdomain.chatgrape.com/chat);
- Press and drag ChatGrape’s icon from the URL bar to the task bar;
- Voilà!
