One Project, All Platforms
Use one Omia Studio project to design, code, and manage macOS, Windows, mobile, and web outputs from the same workflow.
Your profile continues to power builds and outputs across all supported platforms from the desktop workspace.
These direct downloads are our early release channel: you get the latest supported desktop builds first, with faster iteration ahead of App Store packaging.
macOS 12 Monterey or later
The macOS build has been notarized by Apple for secure distribution. Download the .dmg, drag omiadesktop to your Applications folder, and launch it from there.
Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
This is the zipped Flutter executable build for Windows. Extract the archive, open the folder, and run omiadesktop.exe. If the app fails on launch, your system may be missing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Download the official distributable package here: Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable.
Early Release Channel
The current macOS and Windows downloads are release v9 direct early release builds. For versioned release notes, view the archive.
Common questions about installing and running Omia Studio on desktop.
Yes. These direct downloads are our early release channel, which means they receive the latest supported desktop updates before App Store distribution. Expect the core product and workflow you need, plus faster iteration as new releases ship.
Omia Studio uses Firebase for secure user authentication. The Firebase desktop library stores your authentication credentials (login tokens) in your Mac's Keychain — the same system Apple uses to protect your passwords and certificates. This means your session data is encrypted and isolated to your account, and is never stored in plain text on disk.
You will only see the Keychain prompt on first launch or after an OS security update. It is completely safe to allow access.
Yes — this is expected behaviour for the ZIP download. The Windows SmartScreen warning appears because this is the raw Flutter executable archive, distributed without an embedded code-signing certificate. This is the same format we provide when you trigger a Windows build from within the IDE.
The Windows app also depends on the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Some Windows installations already have it because it is bundled through other software or OS updates. If Omia fails immediately on launch, download and install the official distributable package from Microsoft here: Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable.
If you would like extra peace of mind, you are welcome to run a targeted antivirus scan (e.g. ClamAV, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes) on the extracted files before launching.
To bypass the warning entirely, click "More info" → "Run anyway" on the SmartScreen dialog. We are actively publishing to the Microsoft Store, which will provide the necessary certificate inside an embedded MSIX package and eliminate this prompt once the store version is live.
No. The Omia AI agent requires significant compute power and is entirely cloud-hosted. We do not want AI workloads slowing down your PC, so inference runs on our servers while your local app stays responsive.
It depends on the build type:
