Install OmniForge from the official download page. The desktop app includes the interface and manages the local services it needs to search documents and process recordings.
Install the app
- Go to omniforge.online/download.
- Choose the installer for your computer.
- Open the downloaded installer.
- Follow the operating system prompts.
- Open OmniForge.
On first launch, OmniForge may need a moment to prepare local services. Keep the app open until the setup messages disappear.
Sign in and prepare the local models
Every plan, including Free, requires an OmniForge account. Complete the browser sign-in flow and return to the desktop app.
Let the local models and services finish downloading before relying on transcription or the Assistant. Model downloads and sign-in require internet. Make a short test recording, review its transcript and generate a summary before an offline session.
Documents, recordings and AI processing stay on your computer. Account services, billing, downloads and updates still use online services. Check your account state before taking the computer offline.
Supported computers
OmniForge Desktop supports Apple Silicon Macs and Windows PCs. Check the download page for current operating-system requirements. Performance depends on your hardware and workload.
Keep the app updated
OmniForge shows update information in Application Settings. Updates can include new file support, reliability improvements, and fixes for local services.
Open settings, then check the Updates section when you want to confirm your current version.
