Darcy Desktop (Beta)

Run Darcy as a native desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux — with direct access to your local projects, files, and tools

Darcy Desktop brings the full DarcyIQ experience to a native application for Windows, macOS, and Linux — the same chat, integrations, workflows, and features you use in the browser, plus something the browser can't do: direct interaction with your local computer.

Beta: Darcy Desktop is currently in beta. Features and setup steps may change as we iterate — check the release notes for the latest updates.

Overview

Capability	Description
Native apps for every OS	Install Darcy as a first-class desktop application on Windows, macOS, or Linux
Full platform parity	Chat, agents, integrations, workflows, and artifacts — everything from the browser version
Local computer interaction	Grant Darcy access to folders on your machine so agents can read, edit, and create files directly
Run real tools	Execute your actual test suites, builds, and scripts against your real codebase
Seamless cloud sync	Move files and context between your desktop and the cloud sandbox

Local Computer Interaction

The defining feature of Darcy Desktop is the ability to work on your local projects directly.

• Folder access — Grant Darcy access to a specific folder on your machine. Agents can then read, edit, and create files inside it — changes appear in your IDE the moment they're saved.

• Real tooling — Run your actual test suites, execute builds, and work with your real codebase instead of a copy.

• You stay in control — Darcy can only touch the folders you explicitly grant access to.

Use case: Working on a codebase? Grant Darcy access to your project folder and ask it to run your test suite, fix the failing tests, and update your source files directly — all without leaving the desktop app or switching to your terminal.

Cloud Sync

Files and context move seamlessly between your desktop and Darcy's cloud sandbox, so you can combine local project access with cloud-based analysis and processing.

Workflow	How it works
Local → Cloud	Send local files to the cloud sandbox for heavy processing or analysis
Cloud → Local	Bring artifacts and results from cloud runs back into your local project
Mixed workflows	Edit code locally while agents run large-scale analysis in the cloud
