Open WebUI Desktop

Open WebUI, up and running in a few clicks. Desktop installs it on your computer, keeps it up to date, and opens it whenever you need it.

Download

• macOS: Apple Silicon · Intel
• Windows: Intel / AMD (x64) · ARM64
• Linux (Debian / Ubuntu / Mint): Intel / AMD (x64) · ARM64
• Linux (AppImage): Intel / AMD (x64) · ARM64

If an AppImage fails to start with a chrome-sandbox error on Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint, install the .deb package above. Its installer configures the sandbox permissions needed to start the app.

Snap and Flatpak packages are available on the releases page.

Internet is required for installation and updates.

Enable Automatic desktop updates in Settings → About to update on quit.

How It Works

Open the app and click Get Started. Desktop installs Open WebUI on your computer, starts it for you, and opens it in the app. You use the same Open WebUI you know, with setup and updates handled through Desktop.

Desktop runs your own local copy of Open WebUI. If you already use Open WebUI on another server, Open WebUI Tether is a companion app that extends what you can do with it.
