Using the desktop app

The desktop app is Langdock on your Mac or Windows PC. You get the same workspace as in the browser: chat, agents, knowledge, and the rest of your tools, in a native window that lives in the dock or taskbar instead of a browser tab. Use it when you want Langdock next to your other apps, more than one Langdock view open at once, or to stay signed in in the browser and on the desktop at the same time. The desktop app replaces the older browser-installed Langdock App (PWA). If you still use the PWA, switch to the desktop app.
You work in the same workspace as in the browser. The window, menus, and a small set of computer-connected features can differ. If something is missing or looks different in the desktop app, that is expected.
