DenwaysMeet on your
own desktop.
A dedicated window, a tray icon that keeps you reachable, native notifications, and proper screen-share picking - without a browser tab in the way.
Version 1.0.0 · Windows 10 and later · macOS 11 and later · Intel Mac build · or use it in the browser
One extra step on macOS
Open the .dmg and drag DenwaysMeet onto the Applications folder. The app isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch needs a nudge: right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm. After that it opens normally.
If macOS still refuses, run this once in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DenwaysMeet.appYou only need to do this once per install.
Windows SmartScreen warning
Windows may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen the first time, since the installer isn't signed by a widely-recognized publisher yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. This only shows up once.
Why install it
More than a pinned browser tab
Stays in your tray
Closing the window keeps DenwaysMeet running so calls and mentions still reach you - it never disconnects you.
Native notifications
Desktop alerts for mentions, replies, and DMs - even when the app is in the background.
Better screen sharing
Pick a specific window or monitor, and share system audio along with it - a proper native picker, not a browser prompt.
Always up to date
The app loads the current version of DenwaysMeet every time it opens, so it stays current on its own without reinstalling.
Also available
Linux
Runs as an AppImage on any distro, or install the .deb directly on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems.
AppImage: mark it executable, then run it directly — no install needed.
