The Design working UI is a desktop app of its own. The web app creates and lists canvases when Chat or Code hosts one; editing frames, notes, options, and the Library drawer happens here.

Install

1

Download

Desktop builds are published at releases.cortex.foundation. Pick the Design desktop app for your platform.
2

Sign in

Same account as the web app. Canvases are member objects.
3

Open a canvas

Your canvases follow your account. Boards hosted from Chat or Code are already listed.

​
Work on a board

Edit frames and notes, lay out options side by side, and pull components, pages, and tokens from the Library drawer. Rename the board from Untitled canvas to something useful; the host binding to the originating Chat conversation or Code session stays.

​
What the web app will not do

​
Your boards follow the account

Sign in with the same account you use on the web and your canvases are already listed — the boards a Chat conversation or a Code session hosted are not tied to the machine that created them. Another account’s canvases are never visible. See Canvases and Accounts.

Three desktop apps
