Any plans for a desktop app to be created? This would be much more appealing to larger companies, having to use the browser is limiting the platform in my eyes. ---

Welcome to the Forum @Harry_Nixon and thank you for reaching out and for your feedback! I don’t have any updates on this topic at the moment but I would encourage you to upvote the existing threads we have in the #productfeedback category: > [@Desktop Asana app](https://forum.asana.com/t/whats-the-status-of-a-native-asana-mac-app/1581): > > AppSana just doesn’t cut it. So buggy! Goggle auth is broken and so is Harvest auth. > [@Native Windows App for Offline Use?](https://forum.asana.com/t/native-windows-app-for-offline-use/17525): > > I am new to Asana. But from all of the research I have done, I am excited about starting to use it. However the only thing missing for me, is the ability to work offline. (Native Windows App) Is there any plan for this as a possibility, and if so, when will it be available? I’ll make sure to update both threads as soon as I hear anything on my end. Have a great Friday Harry! ---

Hello! One more advocate for a desktop app! I am really surprised there is no such. I have just started using it and this another one browser tab is not a lovely experience at all. Please do think about this. A lot of other task manager software are available in a desktop version. Regards ---

How does Asana not have a desktop app? In my eyes it’s the most gorgeous task management software and I love using it but I’ve left and gone to Trello or Monday just because of this reason. I have to imagine there are TONS of other people doing the same. ---

Is there any update to the request for a desktop app? This would be extremely helpful. ---

Hi A desktop app is something we all want but I have found an alternative that works really well. It basically creates Asana as its own application with icon etc so you can easily find it. ![Screenshot 2021-02-22 at 11.00.34](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/c/9/c9d0ec5eefc9c08f298126490b994f965deb3cc5.jpeg) It’s called Flotato \>\>\> [https://www.flotato.com](https://www.flotato.com) Just download the app, and click “make your own”, fill in the url and log in to Asana. Done! Took me about 2 minutes to do and didn’t cost anything. Btw, I am not affiliated with them in any way - just worked really well. ---

> [@Chris\_Nicholl](#): > > [https://www.flotato.com](https://www.flotato.com) Woah @Chris_Nicholl I haven’t dug in super far yet but of all the research i’ve done trying to find a solution for an asana desktop app, this seems like hands down the best. thank you! ---

This creates an app-like experience for me – icon in the dock and everything – on the Mac with Chrome: Took the steps from here: [Stack Exchange answer](https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/363381) - go to asana via Chrome - click on three dots on Chrome window on top right - select “more tools” - select “Create Shortcut” + make sure to tick ‘open in new window’ ---

Hi everyone! Today I’m delighted to announce that we’ve opened up Early Access to the new Asana for Desktop application! 🎉 Please find all details in our announcement: > [@Asana for Desktop: Now Available for Early Access!](https://forum.asana.com/t/asana-for-desktop-now-available-for-early-access/120008): > > Hi, everyone wave I’m excited to announce that we’ve opened up Early Access to Asana for Desktop! Asana’s native desktop app helps you remove distractions so you can focus on the most important work at hand. The app has the same functionality as Asana on the web but pulls Asana out of the sea of browser tabs and onto your desktop. The desktop version of Asana is available on both Mac and Windows (not supported on Linux) and almost everything about the app is identical between desktop and web… Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback! ---
