- Download: go to xinyuai.app/download, or click "Desktop" in the site's top menu. The Mac app runs on both Apple silicon and Intel (macOS 13 or later). The Windows app supports Windows 10 or later (64-bit), and you can choose which drive to install it on.
- Local files panel: click "Local Files" in the canvas sidebar to keep a project folder from your computer next to the canvas. Browse it as a list, thumbnails or masonry and drag files straight onto the canvas. File names and paths stay on your computer; only the file you drag in is uploaded.
- Save downloads where you choose: downloading opens a save window that starts in the folder you last used for this project. You get a notification when it's saved, and one click shows the file.
- Notified when it's done: working in another app? You'll get a system notification when an image or video finishes or fails.
- A better privacy lock: lock right from the menu bar, lock automatically when your computer sleeps or locks, and on a Mac unlock with Touch ID and turn on screenshot blocking (XinYu shows as black in screenshots and screen sharing).
- Automatic updates: new versions download in the background and install the next time you quit. No need to come back to the website.
- On the web, clicking "Local Files" on the canvas also takes you to the desktop app download.
