Versions:
Ruqola 2.7.1, the sixteenth iteration released by KDE e.V., is an official desktop client engineered to connect users to Rocket.Chat servers from Windows workstations. Positioned in the messaging / collaboration category, the application replicates the platform’s core functions—direct messages, group and public channels, threaded conversations, discussion rooms, and the newer Teams spaces—while adding native KDE conveniences such as drag-and-drop image export and inline replies from notification pop-ups. Multi-account support allows simultaneous connections to separate Rocket.Chat instances, each protected by TOTP or e-mail two-factor authentication and an auto-away timer. Messages are cached locally, enabling full-text search even when offline, and the client tracks unread counts, mentions, attachments, pinned items, starred posts, and emoji reactions. Administrators can manage server-wide resources directly from the GUI: create or delete rooms, assign roles and permissions, maintain custom emoji and sounds, inspect logs, configure OAuth providers, and adjust retention, upload, encryption, and account policies. End-user settings include per-room notifications, autotranslate, GIF playback, file uploads, user blocking, and personal access-token management for integrations. Video conferencing, OTR encryption, and device management for servers running Rocket.Chat 5.0 or newer are likewise built in, together with message-export tools and a running history of all desktop alerts. Ruqola is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
