Lovable Desktop App
GAWorkspaceReleased Apr 2026All plansSource: docs.lovable.dev
Lovable Desktop App is Lovable's Workspace feature: Native macOS app with local MCP support and multi-project tabs.
The Lovable Desktop App runs natively on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) with Windows support announced as coming soon. It is the only surface that supports local MCP servers — connecting to tools running directly on the machine like Figma Desktop and Paper — and adds tab-based multi-project management with keyboard shortcuts.
Example workflows
Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.
Stand it up from scratch
You have read the record and want Lovable Desktop App working in a real project rather than a sandbox.
Set up Lovable Desktop App in this project — native macOS app with local MCP support and multi-project tabs. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.
Expected outcomeA working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.
Designers connecting Figma Desktop while building
The record lists this as one of the jobs Lovable Desktop App is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.
In this project, use Lovable Desktop App for designers connecting Figma Desktop while building. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.
Expected outcomeOne complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.
Review it before you publish
Lovable Desktop App is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.
Review how this project uses Lovable Desktop App before I publish. Check local MCP server connections (Figma Desktop, Paper) and multi-project tabs with Cmd+T and Cmd+1-9, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.
Expected outcomeA findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.
Power users managing several projects at once
A second job the record lists for Lovable Desktop App, useful once the first path works.
Extend this project so Lovable Desktop App also covers power users managing several projects at once. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.
Expected outcomeA second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
