# Desktop App

> Native TaskForceAI experience for your desktop

The TaskForceAI Desktop application provides the native TaskForceAI experience through a thin Tauri shell around the shared web UI and Rust app-server runtime.

This page is intentionally short. Platform-specific install details belong to the download pages and the macOS Homebrew guide, while repository implementation details live in the desktop architecture notes inside the repo.

## Features

* **Shared Runtime**: Desktop uses the same app-server boundary as other local clients.
* **Local Persistence**: Conversations, queued prompts, sync metadata, and model settings live behind the app-server.
* **Native Capabilities**: Terminal reveal, MCP process control, voice, observability, Screen Memory, appshots, and locked Computer Use are exposed by desktop-specific Rust.
* **Local Observation**: Local Computer Use screen observation is handled by the packaged desktop bridge from trusted desktop origins; remote run submission still uses the cloud/virtual Computer Use target.
* **Cross-Platform Packaging**: macOS, Windows, and Linux installers are published from the desktop release pipeline.
