Important Update

Web app support retires April 21, 2026

We're retiring support for the Omia Studio web app on April 21, 2026. The local OMIA IDE on macOS and Windows is the supported experience going forward.

Migration Guide

Move Your Project from OMIA Web to the Local OMIA IDE

OMIA web preview with export options open

Fast Track

Export from the web project preview. Import into the desktop dashboard. Keep your latest build moving with more speed, deeper interactivity, and tighter local control.

Your web project does not have to stop when web support retires. If you have been building in OMIA on the web, you can move the latest version of your project into the local OMIA IDE in minutes and continue working with a faster, more responsive, and more secure local workflow.

This migration flow is built for momentum. Export the latest build from your project preview, bring the zip into the desktop dashboard, and your design and code come across ready to run.

Start from the web project preview

Open the web app at omia.pro/app, then open the project you want to move.

Open the preview page for the web project you want to move. On that preview page, open the dropdown menu, choose Export, and then trigger the build with the arrow button.

The exported zip should be ready to download in a few moments. Once it appears, download it locally and keep it handy for the import step.

Import the zip into the local desktop dashboard

Launch the local OMIA IDE and open your desktop dashboard. Click the large plus button. That reveals a dropdown with the Import ZIP option.

Choose Import ZIP, select the exported zip from your web build, and let OMIA pull the project into your local workspace.

Using your previous email on desktop

If you want to continue in the local app with the same email you used on the web app, sign in with that same email address. If your previous authentication was done with Google and you need a desktop password, use the password reset flow from the desktop app.

Request a password reset in the desktop app, open the reset link sent to your email, and set a password there. Check your spam folder if the email does not show up right away.

Important sync note

Logging into the desktop app does not automatically download your existing web projects to your local machine. Projects only come into the local app when you explicitly export them from the web experience and import the zip into the desktop dashboard.

What happens after import

Once the import completes, your designs and code should be live and interactive inside the local OMIA IDE. You are not starting over. You are picking up the latest exported state of the project and continuing with the desktop workflow.

  • Your latest exported design layout comes over into the local workspace.
  • Your latest exported code comes over with it.
  • The imported project is ready for local iteration, preview, and supported desktop development.

Important limitation

Only the most recent commit is exported in this migration flow. Full commit history is not included in the exported zip, so plan this as a handoff of the latest project state rather than a repository history transfer.

Why move now

The local OMIA IDE is where the platform opens up. You get sharper responsiveness, stronger local control, and a development environment built for sustained work instead of browser constraints.

Move over and experience unparalleled speed, richer interactivity, and secure control over your next phase of development.

One clean move, full momentum

If your project matters, move it where it can run faster and grow with fewer limits. Export the latest build from the web preview, import it into the local OMIA IDE, and keep building without losing your stride.
