Creating Quire Desktop App from Google Chrome

Quire native desktop app

Right now Quire only has a web browser version and a native iOS and Android app, a lot of our users have requested a native MacOs and Windows desktop app. While our developers are working on making the desktop app happen (not soon, unfortunately), there’s a simple way to let you create an app with Google Chrome.

There are two ways to have your own Quire app in your desktop.

If you have the latest version of Google Chrome.

  1. First, open Quire workspace.

  2. At the dropdown menu, you can find the option named "Install Quire"
