Squads – a minimalist alternative Teams client

Squads aims to be a minimalist alternative to the official Microsoft Teams client. Because of major api differences in Teams, Squads only works with accounts that are part of an organization, such as school or work accounts.

⚠️ Still in early development: expect things to be broken and the code unfinished ⚠️

The official client for comparison...

Squads exposes a Nix flake for local usage. Add the following input to your system flake.

Then add the overlay to your pkgs.

It is also possible to use Squads without flakes by building the default output of the repository.
