Desktop app

Deloist on your computer — a window of its own, not another tab

The same planner you use in the browser, in full: tasks in plain text, reminders, repeats, calendar, money, shared lists. Plus what a tab cannot do — a tray icon, launch at login, a global hotkey and updates that install themselves.

What the app adds to the browser

The task list and all the logic are identical — what differs is how the app lives in your system.

Its own window

Switch to your tasks with Alt+Tab instead of hunting through twenty tabs. Window size, position and zoom are remembered.

Tray icon

Close the window and the app keeps running, so reminders keep arriving. Today, calendar and money open straight from the tray.

Global hotkey

Ctrl+Shift+D shows and hides the window from any application. Ctrl+N jumps into a new task, Ctrl+K opens search.

Launch at login

One checkbox in the tray menu. It can start minimised, so Deloist simply waits in the tray from the morning on.

Works offline

The list opens without a connection, and tasks can be added and ticked off. Changes sync themselves once you are back online.

Updates itself

The app checks for updates at launch and every six hours, downloads in the background and offers to restart. You can also check manually from the Help menu.

How updates work

What updates is the shell — the application itself. The web part inside it updates separately and instantly: nothing to restart, new features appear the same day they ship on the site.

  • Checks at launch, then every six hours, in the background.
  • The update downloads on its own but installs when you press Restart — your work is never cut off mid-sentence.
  • Check right now: Help → Check for updates…, or the same item in the tray icon.
  • The portable build and the .deb package cannot update in place — they report a new version and bring you back to this page.

All builds

The same Deloist, different ways to install it.

Windows

Windows 10 or newer · 64-bit
  1. Download the installer and run it.
  2. Pick a folder — no administrator rights needed, it installs into your user profile.
  3. A shortcut appears on the desktop and in the Start menu.

Windows will show the blue SmartScreen dialog “Windows protected your PC”: the build has no publisher certificate yet. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”. To confirm you got our file, check the SHA-256 checksum below.

macOS

macOS 12 or newer · Apple Silicon and Intel
  1. Open the image and drag Deloist into Applications.
  2. For the first launch, right-click the icon and choose Open.
  3. Confirm Open in the dialog; after that a normal double-click works.

The build is not notarised by Apple, so the first launch has to go through right-click → Open. A plain double-click will be refused by macOS.

Linux

x86-64 · glibc 2.31 or newer
  1. AppImage: make the file executable (chmod +x) and run it — nothing to install.
  2. Debian and Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./Deloist-*.deb — it lands in your applications menu.
  3. The AppImage updates itself. The .deb has to be updated by hand — we run no apt repository; the app reports a new version and brings you back here.

Would rather not install a program?

Deloist installs straight from the browser — no installer, no administrator rights. That is the easier route on a work computer where installing software is not allowed. You get the same app, minus the tray, launch at login and the global hotkey.

  1. 1Open Deloist in Chrome, Edge or any Chromium browser.
  2. 2Click the install icon on the right of the address bar.
  3. 3A shortcut lands on your desktop and the app opens in its own window.

Questions about the app

Does the app differ from the website in what it can do?

No. Inside it is the same Deloist: tasks, reminders, repeats, calendar, goals, money, shared lists, the Telegram bot. The app adds a tray icon, launch at login, a global hotkey and a native menu — it removes nothing and adds nothing to the tasks themselves.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. After the first sign-in the list opens offline, and tasks can be added, edited and ticked off. Changes queue up and reach the server as soon as you are back online. Only the very first launch needs a connection — the app has to load itself once.

How does it update?

By itself. At launch and every six hours it checks the update server, downloads the new version in the background and offers to restart — nothing to install by hand. You can check right away from Help → Check for updates…. The exceptions are the portable build and the .deb package: they report a new version but have to be updated manually.

Why does Windows warn about the installer?

The build has no publisher certificate yet — those are paid and issued to a company. SmartScreen shows that warning for any such program, whatever it contains. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”. To be sure the file was not tampered with in transit, compare its SHA-256 checksum with the one on this page.

Where is the Mac version?

The macOS build is in progress. For now Deloist installs on a Mac from the browser in one step: open the site in Chrome or Safari and add the app to your dock — you get a separate window with offline mode.

How much does it cost?

The app is free; there is no separate desktop charge. The same plans apply as on the site: free forever — 30 tasks a month, reminders, repeats, focus of the day and the Telegram bot.

Is my data stored on the computer?

Tasks live on the server, exactly as in the browser — that is why the list is identical on your computer, your phone and in Telegram. Stored locally are only the offline copy used without a connection and the window settings.
