有一个可以帮助你管理多个服务的应用会方便，这样你就不用什么事情都要打开一个浏览器去做了，虽然从技术上讲，你可以这样，但这肯定不是最有条理的做事方式。


因此，像 [Rambox](https://itsfoss.com/rambox/) 和 [Franz](https://itsfoss.com/franz-messaging-app/) 这样的跨平台解决方案是相当流行的，它可以登录到几个服务，并一目了然地访问所有的服务。


尽管它们都可用于 Linux（而且我们已经单独介绍过它们），但它们免费提供的功能有限。


相比之下，Ferdi 是 Franz 的一个复刻，旨在提供更好的体验，同时免费提供了许多高级功能。


### Ferdi: 一处管理多个应用

它还可以让你定制应用的各个方面和它的行为。如果你喜欢像 Rambox 和 Franz 这样的应用，你更应该看看 Ferdi。


### Ferdi 的特点

你可以发现它有大量的功能，而不需要支付额外费用。在这里，我将重点提到一些关键的功能：


* 跨平台支持（Linux、Windows 和 macOS）。
* 包含丰富的信息服务（Slack、WhatsApp、Element 等）。
* 支持用 Franz 账户登录
* 能够对信息进行密码保护
* 可以选择使用你的自定义服务器
* 快速访问待办事项列表，可选择使用 Franz Todo、Todoist、Microsoft To Do、[Any.do](http://Any.do) 等
* 通过在不使用时卸载应用（休眠）来调整性能
* 私密通知，以隐藏你的信息
* 支持“请勿打扰”模式
* 可为每个应用单独切换黑暗模式
* 云同步
* 对账户数量没有限制
* 能够设置一个代理，并通过它进行连接
* 可以添加多个工作空间


### 关于使用 Ferdi 的想法

就像 Rambox 和 Franz 一样，Ferdi 不可避免的会消耗大量资源。所以，你需要知道你是否有足够的内存来让几个应用在 Ferdi 中活动。


在不使用时，能够卸载应用是件好事。因此，如果你的资源不足，你可能想利用休眠选项。

Ferdi 还提供一些高级选项，如 GPU 加速、通用黑暗模式、隐私切换、外观定制等。你甚至可以添加没有列出的自定义服务。

总的来说，在 Ferdi 中你会得到许多功能和选择，你可以用这些选项组合有效地将多个应用有条理地组织起来。


### 在 Linux 中安装 Ferdi


Ferdi 提供了多个软件包，便于在 Linux 上安装。你可以找到一个适用于 Ubuntu/Fedora 的 DEB/RPM 包，以及一个适用于所有其他 Linux 发行版的 [AppImage 文件](https://itsfoss.com/appimage-interview/)。

OK
*Brief: **Ferdi is a promising open-source application with more free features as an alternative to Franz and Rambox. Let us explore more about it.*

A single application to help you manage multiple services comes in handy when you do not want to do everything on your browser. While technically, you can, it may not be the most organized way of doing things.

Hence, options like [Rambox](https://itsfoss.com/rambox/) and [Franz](https://itsfoss.com/franz-messaging-app/) are pretty popular cross-platform solutions to sign in to several services and access all of them at a glance.

Even though they both are available for Linux (and we’ve covered them separately), they offer limited features for free.

In contrast, Ferdi is a fork of Franz offering many premium functionalities for free while aiming to provide a better experience.

## Ferdi: Dabble With Multiple Applications in One Place

Ferdi is a free and open-source application that lets you add multiple applications, including various messaging services, in one place.

It also lets you customize various aspects of the application and its behavior. If you like applications like Rambox and Franz, you should explore more about Ferdi.

## Features of Ferdi

## Thoughts on Using Ferdi

![ferdi custom services](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/ferdi-custom-services.png)

Just like Rambox and Franz, Ferdi won’t shy away from consuming a good chunk of your resources. So, you need to keep in mind whether you have enough memory (RAM) to have several applications active within Ferdi.

It is good to have the option to unload applications when not in use. So, in case you are low on resources, you might want to utilize the Hibernation option.

![ferdi workspaces](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/ferdi-workspaces.png)

Ferdi also offers some advanced options like GPU acceleration, universal dark mode, privacy toggles, appearance customization, and more. You can even add custom services that you do not find listed.

![ferdi advanced options](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/ferdi-advanced-options.png)

Overall, you get many features and choices when it comes to Ferdi. You should be able to organize multiple applications efficiently with the available set of options.

## Installing Ferdi in Linux

Ferdi offers multiple packages for easy installation on Linux. You can find a DEB/RPM package for Ubuntu/Fedora, an [AppImage file](https://itsfoss.com/appimage-interview/) for all other Linux distributions.

They also provide a snap package along with the ability to install it via [AUR](https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/). So, you have plenty of options to get it installed on your Linux computer.
