Miro to Desktop App — Convert Miro Into a Native Desktop Client for Whiteboarding

More questions? Reach out at our support center.

Miro to desktop app gives your collaborative whiteboard a dedicated native window so your team can brainstorm and diagram without browser tab competition.

Why wrap Miro in a desktop app?

Miro is built for collaboration—sticky notes, diagrams, voting sessions, retrospectives. But running it inside a browser tab means sharing screen space with Slack, email, and a dozen other distractions. A dedicated Miro desktop app transforms the experience:

• Fullscreen immersion. Stretch a Miro board across your entire monitor during brainstorming sessions. Every sticky note, wireframe, and diagram is visible without scrolling around browser chrome.
• Always-on-top for video calls. Keep the Miro board floating above your Zoom or Google Meet window during collaborative retrospectives. Participants see your cursor moving across the board while you explain.
• No accidental tab closes. How many times has a Miro board disappeared behind a browser crash or an accidental Cmd+W? A dedicated window is stable and independent.
• Persistent login. Your Miro session stays alive inside the wrapper. No re-authenticating every time your browser clears cookies.

The Neutralino advantage

Miro's own desktop app is built on Electron, which bundles an entire Chromium runtime and can consume several hundred megabytes of disk space. Websktop uses Neutralino—the same live Miro web interface inside a tiny wrapper that relies on the OS native webview. The resulting installer is roughly 4 MB per platform. On a company-managed laptop with limited storage or a shared workstation, that difference matters.

The build pipeline is fully automated. Paste your Miro URL, set the name and icon, select your target platforms, and the queue produces signed installers for Windows (EXE), macOS (DMG), and Linux (AppImage/DEB). Rebuilds take seconds when you need to update branding or regenerate a freshened installer.

Collaboration features that carry over

Since the wrapper loads the live Miro web app, every collaboration feature works identically:

• Real-time cursors. Watch teammates move across the board as they add sticky notes and comments.
• Built-in video chat. Miro's in-board video conferencing functions normally inside the wrapped window.
• Integrations. Jira, Confluence, Slack, Teams, and all Miro marketplace apps continue to work through their server-side connections.
• Templates and frameworks. Whether you are running a retrospective, a design sprint, or a mind-mapping session, every Miro template is available.

Who benefits most

• Product managers running remote sprint planning and retrospectives who want a full-screen board without browser chrome.
• Design teams collaborating on wireframes and user flows that need a persistent whiteboard window alongside Figma or Sketch.
• Agile coaches facilitating workshops across time zones who need reliable always-on-top board access during calls.
• Educators using Miro for virtual classroom activities who want students to see a clean, full-screen canvas during lectures.

Get Miro in your dock in five minutes

Head to the Websktop dashboard, paste your Miro board or team URL, upload the Miro icon, name your app, and choose your platforms. The build runs in the background while you continue working. When it finishes, download and install—Miro now lives in your dock with its own icon, its own window, and zero browser dependency.

Stop losing your whiteboard to tab overload. Turn Miro into a first-class desktop application with Websktop and keep your ideas front and center.
