Is there a Webflow desktop application available for website creation instead of using the website itself?

TL;DR
  • Webflow is a web-based platform with no desktop application or offline mode, requiring access through a browser like Chrome or Edge.
  • Users can create a progressive web app (PWA) or use browsers like Brave for an isolated experience.
  • Chrome and Edge provide the best performance, while Safari and Firefox may have compatibility issues.

Webflow does not offer a desktop application for website creation. It is entirely web-based and requires an internet connection to access the Webflow Designer and Editor through a browser.

1. Webflow Access

  • You can build and manage websites directly from Webflow.com in a supported browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
  • There is no offline mode for designing or editing projects.

2. Alternative Options

  • If you want a native app experience, you could use a progressive web app (PWA) by installing Webflow as a shortcut in Chrome.
  • Some users install Webflow within desktop web browsers like Brave for a more isolated experience.

3. Best Browser for Webflow

  • Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) offer the best performance.
  • Safari and Firefox are supported but may have compatibility issues.

Summary

Webflow is available only via a web browser and does not have a desktop application. To use Webflow, you must log in to Webflow.com and work online.
