Oryn on your Mac.
The web-based Oryn platform is our primary product and the one we recommend for most firms. For firms that need offline-first workflows, deep system integration, or iPad as a first-class surface, there’s Oryn Desktop.
The web platform is Oryn\u2019s primary product. Most firms should start there \u2014 it\u2019s faster to deploy, easier to keep updated, and has feature parity with desktop in every category that matters. Oryn Desktop exists for specific use cases (offline-heavy practice, iPad-centric workflows, native system integrations) where a web browser isn\u2019t the right surface.
A few firms need it. Most don\u2019t.
Choose desktop if
- You work from courthouse Wi-Fi that\u2019s unreliable
- iPad is a daily tool for note-taking or review
- You use RingCentral and want in-system call handling
- Your firm policy requires Dropbox as a secondary store
- You prefer native apps over browser tabs on principle
Stay on web if
- Your firm has Windows and Mac users
- You want fastest updates and newest features first
- Remote access from any device matters
- IT prefers not to manage installed apps
- You\u2019re still evaluating Oryn and want the shortest on-ramp
Native surfaces, offline capability.

Where desktop is today.
The desktop app is in the refactoring wake of a large 2025 development push. We\u2019re stabilizing the build pipeline and reshaping the architecture so that the web and desktop surfaces share a common backend (the same NestJS API that powers the web platform). Release timing for general availability on desktop will be announced as part of our general GA roll-out for Oryn.
If you\u2019re a firm that specifically needs desktop today and you\u2019re willing to run a beta, tell us \u2014 we are onboarding a limited number of desktop design partners.
