Quire Desktop turns Quire.io into a true native Windows app. No more hunting through browser tabs: real-time alerts land on your desktop the moment things happen, and one click drops you on the exact task — or the exact comment — that triggered them.
⚠️ Independent Project Notice: This is an independent, community-developed application and is not an official Quire product. It is not developed, endorsed, or directly affiliated with Quire.
Key Features:
• Instant Native Notifications – task assignments, comments, @mentions, due dates and status changes, delivered in real time via webhooks — not polling • Pinpoint Navigation – click a notification and land on the precise task, scrolled to the very comment that fired it • Morning Digest – start every day with a single summary of everything due today, at the time you choose • Smart Reminders – lead times ("5/15/30/60 minutes before"), overdue strategies, start-date alerts, and Do-Not-Disturb hours • Your Sound, Your Rules – pick from six notification sounds or go fully silent • Self-Healing Connection – automatically recovers after network outages and system sleep, so you never miss a beat • System Tray – lives quietly in the tray with connection status at a glance; global hotkey to summon the window • Auto-Updates – the app tells you when a new version ships (and lets you skip one, too) • Privacy-Focused – secure OAuth sign-in, zero data collection; your tokens never leave your machine
Getting Started:
First, download and install the desktop application from here (note for Windows users: you may see a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning saying "Unknown publisher." This is normal for new apps that haven't yet built up download history. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed).
Then click "Authorize" after the first launch to connect the app with your Quire account — that's it. Your projects and tasks sync automatically.
Perfect for teams and individuals who live in Quire all day and want it to feel like a real desktop app: focused, fast, and impossible to miss a deadline with.
Requirements: Windows 10/11. Desktop application must be installed before authorization.
