Internet is required for installation and updates.
Enable Automatic desktop updates in Settings → About to update on quit.
Open the app and click Get Started. Desktop installs Open WebUI on your computer, starts it for you, and opens it in the app. You use the same Open WebUI you know, with setup and updates handled through Desktop.
Desktop runs your own local copy of Open WebUI. If you already use Open WebUI on another server, Open WebUI Tether is a companion app that extends what you can do with it.
