FaceChat brings you a convenient way to keep in touch with your Facebook friends all day long without having to keep your Facebook profile open.
This compact chat app lives in your status bar and gives you notifications (configurable) when new chat messages arrive. It has many features not available in Facebook’s web chat and keeps you logged in as long as you like.
To get started just login with your Facebook username (not your email) and password.
Your personal information is not accessed (no Facebook application “linking”) and your credentials remain safely on your computer (authentication is handled securely between the app and Facebook’s servers).
NOTE: FaceChat can only be downloaded via the Mac App Store (the download link redirects you to its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
