Desktop App

The AtomC desktop app provides a native experience on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Installation

macOS

Mac App Store (Recommended)

Search for "AtomC" in the Mac App Store, or use this direct link. The App Store handles updates automatically.

Direct Download

Download the .dmg file from atomc.ai. Open the disk image and drag AtomC to your Applications folder.

Windows

  • Debian (.deb) — Install with sudo dpkg -i atomc-*.deb

Both are available from atomc.ai.

Interface

The desktop app mirrors the web app's two-panel layout with some native enhancements:

  • System-native window controls — Minimize, maximize, and close buttons match your OS
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Full keyboard navigation (see Keyboard Shortcuts)
  • Notifications — System notifications for important updates
  • Menu bar integration — Quick access from the system tray/menu bar

Signing In
