App: Unite - GroupMe app
Developer: Furnace Creek Software LLC
Genres: Social Networking

Unite is a simple and easy-to-use GroupMe app for the Mac. It allows you to view and message all of your active GroupMe groups and chats, all in a native macOS app. You can even share files, images, locations, GIFs, and emoji with your family and friends, right from your Mac!

Local notifications alert you as new messages arrive, so you'll never miss a message. What's more, badges on the app icon show how many unread messages you have. Unite allows you to save and zoom in on any images you receive and view locations your friends sent you on interactive maps. If groups get too chatty, Unite allows you to pin important groups and mute spammy ones.

Unite also features powerful group management tools, allowing you to create, join, rename, share, leave, and delete groups. You can even add or remove group members, as well as view past groups you've been in, right on your Mac.
