Key features

BloxChat monitors your Roblox logs and automatically switches channels based on the JobId of the server you’re in. Each Roblox game server gets its own isolated chat channel.
Secure in-game verification system that links your desktop client to your Roblox account using short-lived sessions. No credentials are stored locally.
Reply to specific messages to keep conversations organized. Thread your responses directly to any message in the channel.
Press / to quickly focus the chat input, and Esc to return focus to your Roblox game. Streamlined workflow for fast communication.
Release builds on Windows automatically check for and install updates on startup when a newer version is available.
Configure GUI opacity, enable/disable image loading, set custom API URLs, customize your Roblox logs path, and set auto-join messages.
Optional Discord integration to show your BloxChat activity status with configurable Discord RPC app ID.
Use /clear to quickly clear your channel history locally.

​
Platform support

BloxChat is currently Windows-focused (Windows 10/11):
  • Built with Tauri for native Windows performance
  • Uses Win32 integration in the Rust layer for system-level features
  • Requires WebView2 runtime (usually pre-installed on Windows 10/11)
Linux and macOS support is not currently available, but contributors are welcome to submit PRs adding cross-platform support.

​
How it works

  1. Desktop app: A React + Vite + Tauri application that provides the chat interface
  2. Backend server: A Bun + tRPC API that handles authentication and message routing
  3. Log monitoring: The desktop app watches your Roblox logs folder to detect server changes
  4. Channel system: Each Roblox JobId maps to a unique chat channel
  5. Real-time messaging: WebSocket subscriptions for instant message delivery
