The Designer for desktop
The same editor, packaged as a native app. Faster, quieter, and not at the mercy of whatever extensions your browser is running.

Why the desktop app
Noticeably snappier
No browser extensions intercepting every click. No ad blockers scanning every image load. No password manager hooking every input. Just the editor, full-speed, on its own Chromium runtime.
Your designs stay yours
The app runs in a sandboxed native shell — same account, same cloud sync, but without third-party scripts reading DOM events or mutating what you see.
Feels like a real app
Dock icon, Cmd+Tab, native window chrome, hidden menu bar. No tab clutter, no bookmark bar eating vertical space. Just your canvas.
System requirements
