About Zaptopus

🐙 Zaptopus lets you customize WhatsApp Web: change the colors, tidy up the layout, hide your conversations from people nearby and reply faster. It is free, needs no account, and everything runs inside your own browser. How to start: open WhatsApp Web, click the octopus icon in the toolbar and choose a look. Changes appear instantly, without reloading the page. 🎨THEMES AND WALLPAPERS • Several ready-made dark and light color themes, plus an animated Halloween scene • A color editor for the sidebar, bubbles, accent color, typing bar and more • Chat background: the classic pattern, a solid color, a gradient or your own picture • Save your theme to a file and import it again later 🧩CLEANER LAYOUT • Modern look with rounded panels and softer bubbles • Filters, Archived and New chat move to the slim icon bar on the left • Hide the contact list with one click (or Alt+Shift+F) to focus on one conversation • Adjust the list width and text size, or center the conversation in one column • Hides the "download the desktop app" banners 🛡️PRIVACY MODE • Blurs texts, names, photos and the contact list, so nobody can read over your shoulder • Turn it on from the left bar, the toolbar icon or Alt+Shift+X • Hover to peek, or set a PIN lock so nothing is revealed until you unlock it • While it is on, clicks, typing and tooltips are blocked too ⚡QUICK REPLIES • Type "/" in the text box to pick one of your saved replies • Use {name} to insert the contact's first name automatically • The reply is only filled in. You always press Enter yourself 🔔NOTIFICATIONS • A small card appears when someone writes to you while you are in another tab, or a system notification if the browser is in the background • Several cards stack in order and stay on screen for about 9 seconds • Optional sound, optional preview and an unread counter on the toolbar icon • In Privacy Mode, notifications never show the sender or the text • Not seeing them? Settings has a simple step-by-step guide and a test button 🌎ALSO INCLUDED • English and Portuguese • One switch turns everything off to compare with the original look 🔒YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No servers, no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. Settings are saved in your browser. Nothing you read or write is stored or sent anywhere, no internal code of the site is used, and nothing is ever sent on your behalf.
