Asire on the desktop

Plenty of teams keep Asire open all day. A pinned browser tab is a fragile way to do that — it gets closed by accident, it competes with forty other tabs, and its notifications are at the mercy of browser permissions. The desktop app fixes all three.

What's different from the web app

  • Native system notifications for mentions, assignments, and incoming calls, delivered through the OS rather than the browser.
  • Its own window and dock/taskbar icon, so Asire is somewhere you switch to, not something you hunt for among tabs.
  • A fully static bundle, so the app opens instantly instead of waiting on a server round trip to render its first screen.

Same account, same data

The desktop build talks to exactly the same API as the web app. Sign in with the account you already have; tasks, chat, and calls stay in sync across desktop, web, and mobile with no export or import step.

A build-level detail worth knowing

The desktop build ships as a static export, which means no server-side rendering and no request rewrites at runtime. Anything that depended on a server hop had to move to the client or to the API. That constraint is why the desktop app feels quick — and why we keep it in the same codebase, so a feature can't quietly ship web-only.
