Until now, the AppMuse desktop app was a companion: you used it to pair a phone or emulator, install builds, and debug alongside the web app. Today it grows up into something much bigger, a complete workspace. You can now build your entire app, frontend and backend, without ever leaving the desktop app.
From companion to full workspace
The same chat-to-build experience you know from the web is now native on your desktop. Describe what you want, and AppMuse builds it (screens, logic, and backend) while you watch it take shape in real time.
What you can do now
- Build by chatting: create your app and backend through an AI chat, right inside the app.
- Live preview with instant hot-reload: your changes run on a local emulator the moment they're built.
- Browse your project files: explore the full file tree and read any file as the build progresses.
- Manage GitHub: link a repo, push, and review your commit history with rollback.
- Ship it: build APKs, run security audits, open the debug console, check backend status, and submit to the stores.
- Start fresh: create a brand-new project end-to-end, all from the desktop app.
Why the desktop app is different
Here's the part we're most excited about: your emulator runs on the same machine as the app. That means there's no video stream to pipe in and no lag to fight. Every change hot-reloads live and instantly, right next to the chat. You don't wait to see your app; you watch it build itself.
Still a great companion
If you love using the desktop app purely as a companion to pair devices and install builds, nothing changes. A clean per-project switch lets you flip between Companion and Workspace whenever you like, and every existing flow stays exactly where it was.
How to get it
- Already on the desktop app? Just accept the in-app update prompt.
- New here? Download the desktop app from appmuse.dev.
- Open a project, switch to Workspace, and start building.
This is the fastest way yet to go from idea to a running app, with the whole build loop happening right in front of you. Try the new Workspace today.
