WAToolkit for Chrome is a companion extension for WhatsApp that allows you to view notifications even when there is no WhatsApp tab or Chrome window open.

With WAToolkit running, you will never miss a message again while working on your PC. It will even provide the same details you get with WhatsApp, like displaying when a contact is typing a response, for instance. You will obviously need to have WhatsApp on your desktop.

WAToolkit's icon is low-key but visible enough to provide you with WhatsApp notifications so you can stay on top of them.

WAToolkit Features:

Enables always-on desktop notifications: Chrome will permanently run in background mode, keeping track and showing your WhatsApp notifications instantly. You can click on the notifications to go directly to the relevant chat.

Adds a convenient WhatsApp button to the toolbar: It includes the number of unread messages always visible. You can hover the mouse over the icon, and you will see a summary of your unread conversations in a tooltip. Also, the icon will become orange if there's some kind of connectivity issue with your phone. You can still hide the button if you want; right-click on it, and select "Hide button."

Ensures you only have one instance of WhatsApp Web open at any time: That way, you can focus on the right tab in any situation. Moreover, you won't be bothered by WhatsApp's exit confirmation messages anymore.
