Desktop App (Tauri)

The Tauri desktop client runs a local backend with a native UI. All data stays on your machine.

​
Download & Installation

The Myrm Desktop app features an intelligent cross-platform distribution system:
  1. Smart Hardware Matching: Our download page uses WebGL sniffing to bypass browser limitations (like Safari spoofing Intel on M-series chips), ensuring you always get the most optimized binary for your device (Apple Silicon vs. Intel) with a single click.
  2. Race-Free Auto-Updates: Our Map-Reduce CI/CD pipeline ensures reliable, silent background updates across all platforms without manifest conflicts.
Get the latest release from the Myrm Website or GitHub Releases.

Global Screen AI (Appshot + FlowPad)

The desktop-exclusive Appshot feature lets you interact with AI without leaving your current application:
  1. Global Hotkey Capture: Press a hotkey in any app — the system-level listener captures the active window
  2. Auto Text Extraction: OCR automatically extracts text content from the captured screenshot
  3. FlowPad Floating Panel: An AI query panel appears after capture — type your question and send it to the conversation
  4. Multi-Capture Stacking: Capture up to 10 windows in sequence and send them all to AI for analysis
  5. Image Preview & Management: Preview captured images in FlowPad, delete individual captures, or click to enlarge
Typical use cases: ask questions about a PDF you’re reading, capture error messages from a browser for AI diagnosis, screenshot code snippets in your IDE for explanation.
