Desktop app

Pad in a native window for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The desktop app is the same product as app.pad.ai in a window of its own. It signs in with the same account, shows the same organizations, and keeps itself up to date quietly in the background.

Install

Download the build for your platform from the Downloads page. The app installs in seconds and opens to the sign-in page.

What is different on desktop

  • Tabs. Open chats, documents, and pages side by side in one window.
  • Find in page. Press Cmd/Ctrl+F to search the page you are on, including a long chat transcript.
  • Native menus and shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts on the Search and shortcuts page work the same way.
