Desktop app

The desktop app brings Studio to your computer. Edit source, explore workflows, and run local projects alongside your own files and tools, without setting up a separate server or waiting for a cloud environment to start.

Visit the installation page for download availability. Public installers are being prepared; a platform's download becomes available on that page when its installer is published.

Install on macOS

The Mac app targets Apple Silicon and requires macOS 13.5 or later.

Download the macOS installer from the installation page when available.
Open the .dmg file and drag Octonode into Applications.
Open Octonode from Applications and sign in with your existing account.

Project export and Git operations use Apple's Command Line Tools. If Octonode asks for them, open Terminal, run xcode-select --install, and finish the installation before exporting again.

Install on Windows

The Windows app targets 64-bit Windows 10 or later.

Download the Windows setup installer from the installation page when available.
Open the -setup.exe file and follow the prompts. It installs for your user account.
Open Octonode from the Start menu and sign in with your existing account.

The installer sets up Microsoft Edge WebView2 if it is missing. Install Git for Windows before exporting a project, then restart Octonode so it can find Git.

Work on your computer

Select your workspace and open a project.
Choose Export to computer and select a parent folder.
Octonode creates a new project folder. Edit and run the project locally using the same Studio tools described in Working in Studio.

Export preserves the source and configuration. It does not copy cloud databases, execution history, or secret variables. Configure the connections and credentials your local workflow needs before running it. Node.js and npm are included; install any other language runtimes your project uses on your computer.

Keep changes in sync

Choose Sync project to exchange source changes with the cloud project. For Git projects, commit your local edits first. If the same file has changed both locally and online, resolve the conflict before syncing again.

Your project files stay in the folder you chose. Export never replaces an existing folder. If you move the project folder, export to a new location to continue working locally.

Internet and online features

An internet connection is required to sign in, export, synchronize, and use online features. Local workflows run on your computer, but workflows that call online services still need internet access. Cloud collaboration and assistant features continue to use your Octonode account.

Remove the app

On Mac, move Octonode from Applications to Trash. On Windows, uninstall Octonode from Settings → Apps. Your exported project folders remain on your computer.
