Open WebUI Desktop
Your AI, right on your desktop. Open WebUI Desktop wraps the full Open WebUI experience into a native app you can install in seconds, with no Docker, terminal, or manual setup required. Just download, launch, and start chatting with local or remote models.
Note
Open WebUI Desktop is in early alpha. Things are moving fast and we'd love your feedback! Drop into the Discord or open an issue if you hit a snag.
Download
Grab the installer for your platform and you're good to go. An internet connection is needed the first time you launch; after that the app works fully offline.

- Offline-ready. After the first launch, everything runs without an internet connection.
- Cross-platform. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux.
- Auto-updates. New releases are detected and installed automatically.
