Desktop app
The Cremind App is a prebuilt desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux that bundles the agent and auto-updates from GitHub Releases.
The Cremind App is a desktop client that bundles the agent, so you don't have to run the install script or manage a server yourself. Download an installer, run it, and you have a working Cremind on your machine. Like the rest of the project it is open source and early (version 0.0.1).
Download
Prebuilt installers are published on GitHub Releases. Pick the file for your operating system:
| OS | File | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Cremind App-Windows-<version>-Setup.exe | NSIS installer |
| macOS | Cremind App-macOS-<version>.dmg | Disk image |
| Linux | Cremind App-Linux-<version>.AppImage | AppImage |
Replace <version> with the release you're downloading.
What's bundled
The desktop app ships the Cremind agent inside it — there is no separate server install needed. Launch the app and the agent runs locally, ready to chat. On first run you'll still go through the same setup wizard as a script install: choose an LLM provider, paste a key, and create your first profile (named admin).
Auto-updates
The Cremind App auto-updates from GitHub Releases, so you stay on the latest build without re-downloading installers by hand.
Desktop app vs. one-line installer
Both give you the same agent and the same web setup wizard; they differ in how the agent is delivered and managed.
| Desktop app | One-line installer | |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Prebuilt installer per OS | Script that builds or pulls on your machine |
| Agent | Bundled in the app | Docker container or native venv |
| Updates | Auto-update from Releases | Re-run the installer to upgrade in place |
| Best for | A self-contained desktop assistant | Servers, sandboxed Docker mode, or custom deployments |
If you want the agent isolated in a sandboxed container, observable over VNC, or reachable from other machines, use the one-line installer and choose Docker mode instead.
