Desktop App Deployment¶

The Mattermost desktop app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, and offers additional functionality beyond the web-based experience.

Learn more about desktop app software requirements, releases and server compatibility as well as the what’s changed across releases.

Download¶

Download and install the Mattermost desktop app from the App Store (macOS), Microsoft Store (Windows), or by using a package manager (Linux). We strongly recommend installing the desktop app on a local drive. Network shares aren’t supported.

In Matermost, users are notified under Downloads when new desktop app releases become available. If managing the distribution of the mobile app on behalf of users, you can recommend that your users disable desktop update notifications by going to … > File > Settings on Windows or Mattermost > Settings on Mac and clearing the Automatically check for updates option.

See additional deployment options below to manage distribution of the mobile app to your users.
