The desktop app is the same MOODS as the web app, plus global shortcuts, a system tray icon, native notifications and higher quality screen sharing.
Installation
- Windows: download the installer from the Download page and run it. Requires Windows 10 or later.
- macOS: download the DMG and drag MOODS into Applications. Requires macOS 12 or later; runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
To make sure the file hasn’t been altered, compare its SHA-256 digest with the one on the Download page.
Updates
The app downloads new versions in the background. When an update is ready, Update ready appears in the title bar; click it to restart and update.
System tray
When you close the window, MOODS keeps running in the tray and keeps showing notifications. Right-click the tray icon to mute, deafen or quit. Change this in Settings › Windows Settings (macOS Settings on a Mac).

Invite links
When you open an invite link and choose Open in the app, it opens straight in the desktop app. If the app isn’t installed, use Continue in browser.
Start on login
