ZeroTwo has a desktop app for Mac. It comes as a `.dmg` disk image built for Apple Silicon. ZeroTwo does not offer a build for Intel Macs. The other requirements are in [What do I need to run the ZeroTwo Mac app?](https://help.zerotwo.ai/en/articles/9395554-what-do-i-need-to-run-the-zerotwo-mac-app)

## Download the app

1. Open [zerotwo.ai/download](https://zerotwo.ai/download). In the ZeroTwo web app you can also use the **Get apps** button (a monitor icon) in the sidebar footer and choose **Get Desktop App**; it opens the same page. The desktop app itself does not show that button.
2. Under **Download ZeroTwo for desktop**, open the **macOS** menu and choose **Apple Silicon · .dmg**. The file is named `ZeroTwo-macOS-Apple-Silicon.dmg`.
3. Open the downloaded `.dmg` file and install ZeroTwo the way you install any other Mac app.
4. Start ZeroTwo and sign in.

## Sign in on the Mac app

The Mac app uses your ordinary ZeroTwo account, so your chats are the same ones you see on the web. If you choose **Continue with Google**, **Continue with Apple** or **Continue with Microsoft**, ZeroTwo opens your default browser to finish signing in and then hands you back to the app.

## Keep the app up to date

ZeroTwo checks for a new version when it starts, and again every 15 minutes while it stays open and no update is waiting. Updates are not downloaded on their own:

1. When a new version is found, a round download button appears in the sidebar footer. Its tooltip reads **Download update**. Select it to download the update; while it downloads, the button shows the progress as a percentage.
2. When the download finishes, the tooltip changes to **Restart to install**. Select the button to restart ZeroTwo and install the update.

To check on demand, choose **Check for Updates…** from the ZeroTwo menu in the menu bar, or open **Settings**, go to **General** and use **Check for updates** under **About**. The same section shows the version you have installed.

## Other desktop downloads

The download page also lists a Windows installer for x64 PCs and, for Linux, an AppImage and a Debian/Ubuntu `.deb`, both for x64. See the [Windows app](https://help.zerotwo.ai/en/collections/10670766-windows-app) collection for Windows help.
