The Desktop App

The PostRoll desktop app puts your worlds in their own window — no browser tabs to lose — with a few things only a native app can do.

  • A dedicated window with your dock/taskbar icon, remembered size and position, and standard keyboard shortcuts
  • System notifications — invites, mentions, and session reminders arrive through Windows/macOS notifications when the app is in the background; clicking one takes you straight there
  • Sign-in that sticks — your session survives restarts; Google and Facebook sign-in open in your normal browser and hand you back to the app
  • Automatic updates — the app keeps itself current in the background
  • Save for offline works exactly as it does on the web (see Working Offline)

Payments and checkout always open in your system browser — the app never handles card details itself.

New PostRoll features appear in the desktop app the moment they ship — the app shows the live PostRoll, so there’s no waiting for an app update to get new functionality.
