A desktop app for KwaaiNet — the
distributed inference network. Chat with models running across the network,
contribute your machine to the mesh, and control the kwaainet node from a
menu-bar tray. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Grab the latest build for your platform from the Releases page:
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| macOS | kwaainet-gui-macos.zip |
| Windows | kwaainet-gui-windows.zip |
| Linux | kwaainet-gui-linux.tar.gz |
Each download bundles the matching KwaaiNet node, so the app works out of the box — no separate install needed. Open the app, and it starts a node for you.
Heads up: these are unpackaged, unsigned builds. You download a zipped app folder (not an installer yet), and your OS will warn that the app is from an unidentified developer. To run it anyway:
- macOS — unzip, then right-click
KwaaiNet.app→ Open and click Open in the dialog (a plain double-click will be blocked). Or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.- Windows — unzip and run
kwaainet_gui.exe. If SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway.- Linux — extract and run
./kwaainet_guifrom the extracted folder.Proper signed installers —
.dmg/.msix/.deb/.rpm— are coming.
- Download and unzip the build for your platform (above).
- Launch KwaaiNet. It starts a local node automatically and lives in your menu bar / system tray.
- Open the chat tab and start talking to the network.
Want to point the app at a node you run yourself (on PATH, a custom path, or
managed by something else)? See Daemon modes.
KwaaiNet GUI is built with Flutter. To build it from source, run the tests, or regenerate the gRPC bindings, see the development guide.
