Desktop App

Use the Brightwave desktop app when you want Brightwave in a dedicated application window instead of a browser tab. The desktop app uses the same Brightwave account and projects as app.brightwave.io.

Install from Brightwave

In Brightwave, open your user menu and choose Downloads. The desktop download item detects your operating system and processor when possible, then shows the matching installer.

If Brightwave cannot detect your device, open the Brightwave downloads page or use the direct links below.

Sign in

The desktop app signs you in through your browser. Choose Sign In with Browser, complete the Brightwave login flow, and the browser returns you to the desktop app.

Notifications

The desktop app delivers native operating system notifications for Brightwave events — such as when a shared resource arrives or an agent finishes work. Notifications appear through your OS notification center (macOS, Windows, or Linux) even when the app is in the background. If native notifications aren't available, the app falls back to browser-style alerts.

Manage notification preferences in Settings → Notifications within Brightwave.

Updates

The packaged desktop app checks for updates automatically. You can also check manually from the app menu: on macOS, open the Brightwave menu and choose Check for Updates; on Windows or Linux, open File and choose Check for Updates.

Other downloads

The same Downloads menu also includes:

• Microsoft Add-in for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Brightwave for iOS.
• Brightwave for Android.
