eSMS Workspace puts your whole eSMS suite — Email, SMS, SMPP and admin — in one native desktop window, with system notifications, an unread badge, and background auto-updates. It's free.
Install
macOS
Download the Universal .dmg (Apple Silicon + Intel, macOS 12+). The app isn't notarized yet, so the fastest path is the one-line installer, which downloads and de-quarantines it for you:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eSMS-Africa/esms-workspace/main/install.sh | bash
If you installed the .dmg manually and see "eSMS Workspace is damaged and can't be opened", run:
xattr -cr "/Applications/eSMS Workspace.app"
Windows
Download the 64-bit installer (.exe) for Windows 10/11 and run it.
Linux
Grab the .AppImage (any x86_64 distro — mark it executable and run) or the .deb for Debian/Ubuntu.
Using it
- One window, four services. A left rail switches between Email, SMS, SMPP and Admin. You sign in once — the session is shared across all of them.
- Notifications & badge. The apps' notifications become native system notifications, and unread counts show as a badge on the dock/taskbar.
- Auto-updates. New versions download quietly in the background and apply on restart — you'll see a prompt when one's ready.
- Links open in your browser. Anything outside eSMS opens in your default browser.
Prefer the web? Everything's still at auth.esmsafrica.io — the desktop app just wraps the same apps.
