The Hebno desktop app opens the same product as the browser in its own window, with a dock or taskbar icon, native file downloads, hebno:// links and automatic updates. Your chats, projects, agents and settings are the same in both.

​
Install

Download installers from hebno.com/download/mac and hebno.com/download/windows. IT teams can use hebno.com/download/windows-msi for the managed package.

​
Sign in

1

Open Hebno

The app checks its connection, then loads Hebno.
2

Choose a sign-in method

Sign in with Google, Microsoft, or email and password. Sign-in finishes in your default browser, because Google does not allow sign-in inside embedded windows.
3

Return to the app

You return to the desktop app from the browser through a hebno:// link, already signed in.
Connecting an integration under Settings → Connections works the same way: the consent screen opens in your browser, then returns you to the app.

​
What the app adds

Links that are not part of the product, such as the source page behind a citation, open in your default browser.

​
Closing the window

On macOS, closing the window hides it and the app continues running. Select the dock icon to show it again, and quit from the menu bar. On Windows, closing the window quits the app.

​
Updates

A new version downloads in the background. When it is ready, you are asked to restart. On macOS, Restart installs the update immediately and Later applies it the next time you launch. On Windows, accepting installs it. Managed .msi installs use the same update check.

​
Offline

With no connection, the app shows an offline screen and reconnects when your network returns. Chats you were in reload when it does.
The desktop app is the web app in a window. It does not add features that need a different account, and your organisation’s models, limits and integrations apply exactly as they do in the browser.
