BridgeApp on desktop

The desktop app gives BridgeApp its own window, away from your browser tabs, with native notifications so you never miss a mention or a call. It’s the app most people reach for during the workday.

Download

Grab the installer for your operating system from the BridgeApp download page (the builds are published on GitHub releases).

Operating system	Download
macOS — Apple Silicon (M-series)	.dmg
macOS — Intel	.dmg
Windows	.exe
Linux	.AppImage

Note

If you’re not sure which macOS download you need: Macs from late 2020 onward are almost always Apple Silicon. You can check under → About This Mac — a “Chip” starting with “Apple” means Apple Silicon; a “Processor” listing Intel means the Intel build.

Install

• macOS — Open the .dmg and drag BridgeApp into your Applications folder.
• Windows — Run the .exe and follow the installer.
• Linux — Make the .AppImage executable and run it. (Most desktop environments let you do this from the file’s Properties, or with chmod +x in a terminal.)

Sign in

When you open the desktop app, signing in happens through a secure deep link: BridgeApp opens your browser to authenticate, then hands you safely back to the app (you may see a bridgeapp:// link being opened — that’s expected). After that, you stay signed in.

Why use the desktop app

• Native notifications for mentions, replies, direct messages, and incoming calls.
• A dedicated window that stays out of your browser clutter.
• Smooth calls with a focused window for voice and video.
