# Desktop app

> Work with your local codebase, development server, and coding agent in Subframe.

The desktop and web apps share the same canvas, projects, and designs. Use the desktop app to connect Subframe to the code and development tools on your computer.

## Working locally with the desktop app

The desktop app gives you access to workflows that are not available in the web app:

1. **[Connect your codebase](/agent/connecting-your-codebase).** Select a local repository so the agent can read and edit its files.
2. **[Use your own coding agent](/agent/connecting-an-agent).** Connect your Claude Code or Codex subscription to Agent chat.
3. **[Make changes in code](/agent/making-code-changes).** Ask your agent to update your connected codebase and review the result in your running app.
4. **[Edit your local app](/browser/making-live-edits).** Make visual changes in the built-in browser and send them to your agent.

## Working with tabs

Use tabs to keep designs, local apps, and websites open in the same workspace.

* Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>T</kbd> to open a new tab
* Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>W</kbd> to close the current tab
* Click a tab in the title bar to switch to it

From a new tab, you can [connect your codebase and open your local app](/browser/previewing-your-local-app).

## Supported platforms

The desktop app is currently available for macOS. Download it at [subframe.com/downloads ↗](https://subframe.com/downloads).

Windows and Linux support are coming soon.
