Desktop

The 8Vast desktop app gives you the same tools as the terminal with a graphical interface.

Install

8v desktop install

Or download from 8vast.io/download.

Launch

8v desktop

Or open 8Vast from your applications menu.

Same system

Desktop and terminal connect to the same background service. Your projects, AI conversations, search index, and lint configuration work identically in both.

Use whichever fits your workflow. Some people prefer the terminal for quick tasks and the desktop for longer AI conversations.
