Versions:
Altus 5.7.2, published by independent developer Aman Harwara, is a lightweight Windows desktop wrapper that turns the official WhatsApp Web interface into a standalone application while adding substantial quality-of-life enhancements. Built on the Electron framework, the program preserves every core chat, call, and file-sharing capability of the browser-based service, yet surrounds them with a theming engine that supplies more than a dozen built-in color schemes plus the option to import custom CSS for complete visual personalization. Its headline feature—multi-account support—lets users sign in to up to three different WhatsApp numbers simultaneously, each housed in a detachable tab that can be reordered or isolated in its own window, making the client equally attractive to professionals who separate work and private lines and to families sharing a single PC. System integration is minimal but practical: native notifications, configurable spell-check, mute on lock, and an optional tray-only mode keep the experience unobtrusive. After 91 incremental releases, Altus has refined memory usage and start-up speed to the point that it launches faster than most stock messaging apps and consumes a footprint comparable to a single browser tab. Because it merely surfaces the official web protocol, conversations remain protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption and no personal data is stored locally beyond session cookies. The utility belongs to the Internet / Instant Messaging category and is distributed as a signed 64-bit installer compatible with Windows 10 and 11. Altus is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serving the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
