# Installation

> Download and install Mavio on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, or as a Chrome browser extension.

Mavio is available on every major platform. Install whichever apps match your workflow — they all sync to the same account.

## Desktop app

The desktop app gives you system audio capture, global hotkeys, and offline recording. It runs quietly in your menu bar or system tray.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    **Requirements:** macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Download the installer">

        Open the `.dmg` file and drag **Mavio** into your **Applications** folder.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Grant permissions">
        On first launch, macOS will ask for:

        * **Microphone access** — required for recording
        * **Screen Recording** permission — required for system audio capture
        * **Accessibility** — required for global hotkeys

        Go to **System Settings > Privacy & Security** to enable each one.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Sign in">
        Open Mavio from Applications and sign in with your Mavio account.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Warning>
      If macOS says the app is from an unidentified developer, right-click the app, select **Open**, and confirm. This only happens on first launch.
    </Warning>

      </Step>

      <Step title="Grant permissions">
        Windows will prompt for microphone access on first recording. Click **Allow** when the system dialog appears.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Sign in">
        Mavio launches automatically after installation. Sign in with your account.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
