Desktop

Yeero Desktop is a native desktop application built with Tauri, delivering the full YeeroAI experience with native-level performance and system integration.

Overview

Yeero Desktop packages the full YeeroAI feature set as a native installer for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Compared to the web app, the desktop client additionally provides:

• Launch directly from the system Dock / taskbar without opening a browser
• Native window title bar with automatic light/dark theme following the system setting
• In-app auto-updates — install new versions with a single click
• OS system notifications (including update alerts)

Installation

Download the installer for your operating system and architecture:

macOS

1. Download the .dmg file for your chip
2. Open the DMG and drag Yeero to the Applications folder
3. On first launch, if you see "cannot verify developer", go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway

Windows

1. Download the .exe installer
2. Run the installer; if a SmartScreen warning appears, click More info → Run anyway
3. Follow the setup wizard to complete installation. Yeero will appear in the Start Menu and as a desktop shortcut

Linux

AppImage (recommended, no installation required):

# Make executable
chmod +x Yeero-0.1.0-amd64.AppImage

# Run directly
./Yeero-0.1.0-amd64.AppImage

deb package:

sudo dpkg -i Yeero-0.1.0-amd64.deb

First Launch

When you open Yeero Desktop for the first time:

1. The app automatically starts the built-in Daemon service (no manual setup needed)
2. The main interface loads once the Daemon is ready
3. Click the avatar or Sign In button in the top-right corner to log in
4. After signing in, all features are available

Features

Yeero Desktop offers the same core features as the web app:

• AI Chat — multi-model conversations, branching thinking, knowledge base Q&A, file/image uploads
• AI Apps — create, generate, run, and version-manage Python AI applications
• Conversation Management — chat history, folder organization, prompt templates
• Model Selection — switch between different AI models from the UI
• Settings & Account — account management, billing overview, app preferences

Theme

Yeero Desktop supports three theme modes, switchable from the Settings page or the top-right corner of the interface:

• Light — always use the light theme
• Dark — always use the dark theme
• System — automatically follow the macOS / Windows system theme

Switching themes also updates the native title bar color for a consistent visual experience.

Language

You can switch the app UI between English and Chinese from the Settings page. The language setting is independent from the CLI and does not affect it.

Auto-Update

Yeero Desktop has a built-in auto-update mechanism:

• Checks for new versions automatically on each launch (at most once per hour)
• Also checks when the window is brought back to the foreground
• When a new version is found, an in-app prompt appears and a system notification is sent
• Click Update Now in the prompt — the update downloads and installs automatically on restart

All update packages are verified with Ed25519 digital signatures to ensure security.

Built-in Daemon & CLI

Yeero Desktop bundles the full yeero CLI and runs the Daemon as a sidecar process alongside the app. The Daemon starts automatically when the app launches and shuts down when the app exits — no manual management required.

Installing Desktop gives you the yeero command in your terminal. Desktop and the CLI share the same Daemon backend, which means:

• After signing in through Desktop, open a terminal and run yeero chat directly — no separate login needed
• All CLI conversations, configuration, and knowledge base data are fully synced with Desktop
• No need to install the CLI separately — the Desktop installer already includes the complete yeero binary
