macOS Desktop#381

Our architecture supports the ability to build a native desktop app, but we need to do some extra work to get it ready to launch.

We’re currently prioritizing other features to build out the functionality of the tool, but we’d love to track how much interest there is for a macOS desktop app specifically.

Sounds good guys! Dektop app is needed. I feel way more confident working in desktop app than on a web app

Would you have a timeframe for the MacOS version ?
Thanks.

We’re not sharing any timelines at the moment, but the best way you can help us prioritize things is by upvoting and sharing your use-cases!

Really like the direction, etc. but a web-app makes this impossible to consider. A single certificate/network/security issue and all of my projects, etc. are 100% impacted, unavailable, lost, etc.

I’m looking forward!

Looking to start incorporating Rive into my workflow as soon as the Mac desktop version is released.

I’d love to see a MacOS App as I feel it’s better much better when programming daily. Thanks!

yes please!

I would love to see Rive support for MacOS App! I don’t think Lotto has native macOS support either. This could be a huge differentiator! Couple of questions

(A) I see that the status of MacOS development is set to In progress. Until this is launched, is there an alternative/workaround to get Rive to work on a “native” MacOS App? Would the react-native version work on a SwiftUI based MacOS App (fyi… I am a noob iOS developer)?

(B) Is there an ETA for MacOS support? I would love to try your early α or β builds
