Arjun Ganesan

Arjun Ganesan is an independent developer who maintains a small, tightly focused portfolio of open-source utilities that wrap popular web services inside lightweight desktop frames. His best-known offering is an unofficial Google Meet client that lifts the videoconferencing service out of the browser and presents it as a standalone window, complete with native notifications, custom tray controls, and a minimal chrome that hides clutter such as address bars and bookmark folders. The wrapper is built with Electron, so it behaves like any other Windows program: it can be pinned to the taskbar, launched at startup, minimized to the system tray, or resized without the tab-management overhead of Chrome or Edge. Because the app simply embeds the official Meet Progressive Web App, users retain full access to Google’s encryption, live captions, background blur, and meeting recordings while gaining the convenience of Alt-Tab switching, global mute hotkeys, and a dock icon that flashes when someone joins. Typical use cases include educators who teach from a single monitor, remote teams that keep Meet open all day beside Slack or VS Code, and privacy-minded professionals who prefer to isolate meeting traffic from general browsing. The code is published under the MIT license and receives periodic updates that track Google’s interface changes. Arjun Ganesan’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are served through the trusted Windows Package Manager (winget), always pull the latest release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other utilities.
