What the app does that the browser does not
It is the same Projekt Republic, with your same account and your same data. What changes is what an app installed on your computer can do.
Every app in its own window
Projects, Calendar or Messages open in windows you move, tile and minimise like any other app, with no browser tabs in the way. With ⌥⌘Space on a Mac, or Alt+Win+Space on Windows, you bring Projekt Republic to the front from anywhere.
System notifications
Meetings, reminders and messages notify you through macOS or Windows notifications, even with the app in the background. And from the menu bar or the tray you open it without looking for it.
Your folders and Kern
Search the folders and repositories on your computer that you choose. And Kern can use tools on your computer, always with your permission.
Works offline
Without a connection you read what you already had and queue some changes, which are sent by themselves when the connection is back.
Lock with a PIN
On a Mac, lock it with a PIN or your Mac password when you step away. On Windows, the PIN is still in testing.
Only in the desktop app
These two apps need more resources than a browser tab can give, so they only open in the installed app.
Kode
Work with the repositories on your computer without uploading them first: terminals, editor and agent sessions on the folders you choose.
Needs a paid plan.
Navegador
The web inside your desktop, with tabs, bookmarks, spaces and per-site permissions.
Free. On Windows, still in beta.
Opening it for the first time on a Mac
The app is signed with a Projekt Republic certificate, not yet with an Apple one. That is why, the first time you open it, macOS warns that it cannot check it. It is not a virus or a broken download, and it only happens once. On macOS 15 or later it takes four steps:
1
Drag the app to Applications
Open the .dmg you just downloaded and drag Projekt Republic to the Applications folder.
2
Open it once
Double-click Projekt Republic. macOS warns that it cannot check who signed it: click «OK».
3
Click «Open Anyway»
Go to System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security and click «Open Anyway» next to Projekt Republic.
4
Confirm
Enter your password or use Touch ID. The app opens and macOS does not ask again.
On macOS 13 or 14? Opening it from the context menu is enough
1
Drag the app to Applications
Open the .dmg and drag Projekt Republic to the Applications folder.
2
Right-click › Open
In Applications, right-click (or Control-click) Projekt Republic and choose «Open».
3
Click «Open» in the warning
macOS asks whether you want to open it. Click «Open»: it only asks this once.
Opening it for the first time on Windows
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen asks you to confirm it once. It takes four steps:
1
Run the installer
Open the .exe you just downloaded. It installs for your user only: it does not ask for administrator rights.
2
Click «More info»
SmartScreen shows «Windows protected your PC» because the installer is not signed. Click «More info».
3
Click «Run anyway»
It appears next to Projekt Republic. Windows only asks this once.
4
Finish the installation
If your computer lacks WebView2, the installer downloads it. When it finishes, Projekt Republic opens and stays in the Start menu.
What you need
- Mac
- macOS 13 Ventura or later. There is one installer for Macs with Apple silicon and another for Intel Macs.
- Windows
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit (x64) or on ARM. If your computer lacks WebView2, the installer downloads it.
- Account
- A Projekt Republic account. If you do not have one yet, you create it for free on this website.
- Connection
- To sign in the first time and to get updates. After that, the app keeps working offline with what you already had.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the app cost?
Nothing. The app is a free download and works with any plan, including the free one. What you pay, if anything, is your Projekt Republic plan, which is the same on the web and in the app. Kode needs a paid plan; Navegador is free.
Does it update itself?
Yes. The app looks for new versions on its own and downloads them in the background. On a Mac they install themselves; on Windows, when you close the app. If a new version does not start on a Mac, it goes back to the previous one by itself. You do not need to come back to this page or repeat the first opening.
Where does my data live?
In your account, just like when you use the web: the app has no separate copy to sync. On your computer it only keeps what it needs to work offline (encrypted), your settings and the permissions you grant. From the app menu, «Sign out and delete local data» removes it.
Does my Mac have Apple silicon or Intel?
Open the Apple menu › About This Mac: it says «Chip» followed by Apple M1, M2… or «Processor» followed by Intel. This page tries to detect it and offers the installer for your Mac; the other one is in the link next to it.
Does it work on Windows on ARM?
Yes. There is an installer for Windows on ARM, besides the 64-bit (x64) one, and the page offers the one for your PC when the browser tells it. Navegador is still in beta on Windows.
Is there a Linux version?
Not yet. On Linux, all of Projekt Republic works in the browser, except Kode and Navegador, which only open in the desktop app.
How do I uninstall it?
On a Mac, drag Projekt Republic from Applications to the Bin. macOS does not delete the settings the app saved: if you want nothing left, first use «Sign out and delete local data». On Windows, go to Settings › Apps, find Projekt Republic and click «Uninstall». Your account and your data stay on the web.
