Open your xpander’s download page: https://<your xpander>/desktop/. On xpander cloud that is chat.xpander.ai/desktop. The web chat also offers the download when you choose Open in Desktop and the app is not installed yet.

​
macOS

You need macOS on an Apple silicon or Intel Mac.
  1. Download the .dmg for your Mac and open it.
  2. Drag Omni into Applications.
  3. Open Omni from Applications.
The app lives in the menu bar and opens at login by default. Closing the window keeps it running in the menu bar; click the dock icon or open the app again to bring the window back. Turn Open at login off in Settings. To let agents use your apps, macOS asks for two permissions after you sign in. See Computer control. If macOS says the app is damaged or cannot be opened, see Troubleshooting.

​
Windows and Linux

Omni Desktop for Windows and Linux is coming soon. On Windows, agents will work with your trusted folders directly; the shell is not available there yet.

​
Updates

The app downloads new versions from your xpander on its own. When one is ready, a strip under the title bar names it, for example Omni 1.5.0 is ready, with Restart to update and Later. Settings > About shows the same, and Check for updates… in the Omni menu checks right away. A self-hosted xpander serves its own updates, so the app never needs to reach the internet for them.
