How to Download the GoHighLevel Desktop App

Two things get asked under this exact search, and they lead to two different downloads. This walks through both.

Downloading GoHighLevel's official desktop app

GoHighLevel's own desktop client is available for Windows and Mac directly from your account.

1. Log in to GoHighLevel in your browser.
2. Go to Settings, and look for the desktop app download link (GoHighLevel has moved this a couple of times across updates, so if it's not under Settings, check the account menu in the top-right).
3. Choose your platform — Windows or Mac — and download the installer.
4. Windows: run the .exe installer and follow the prompts. Mac: open the .dmg and drag the app into Applications, same as any Mac app install.
5. Launch it and log in with your existing GoHighLevel credentials.

That's the whole process — it's a standard installer for either platform. Worth knowing before you start: this app is an Electron build, meaning it's the same web app wrapped in a native-looking window. It does not load faster than the browser version, because it's running the same JavaScript against the same API through the same rendering engine. If your goal is a separate window and a dock icon, this delivers that. If your goal is fixing the "30-second load" problem GoHighLevel's own users complain about on their feedback board, this download won't move that needle — see our full breakdown of why GoHighLevel is slow for the specifics.

Downloading a native GoHighLevel app for Mac instead

If you're specifically on macOS and the reason you're looking for a desktop app is speed, keyboard-driven navigation, or just wanting something that feels like a real Mac app, GoHighLevel's own download isn't the only option.

UltraLevel is a separate, independently built native SwiftUI app for macOS that connects to your GoHighLevel account through its official API — not a repackaged version of the web app. Setup looks like this:

1. Download UltraLevel from ultralevel.app/download.
2. Drag it to Applications and launch — no installer wizard, just a standard macOS app.
3. Generate a Private Integration Token inside GoHighLevel: Settings → Integrations → Private Integrations, with contacts, opportunities, conversations, and calendar scopes enabled.
4. Paste your PIT and Location ID into UltraLevel's connect screen. Your contacts, deals, and conversations load from the same data GoHighLevel already has — nothing to migrate or re-enter.
5. Optionally download the on-device AI model (roughly 5.2GB for the standard model, 18.4GB for the high-capacity option on Macs with 36GB+ memory) so AI requests run locally instead of through a cloud API.

The whole flow takes under five minutes, and your Private Integration Token is stored in the Mac Keychain rather than a cookie or local storage entry.

Which one should you actually download?

• You want a pinned window and a dock icon, nothing more: GoHighLevel's own desktop app does that job.
• You're on Mac and want speed, keyboard shortcuts, and a menu bar quick-capture surface: that's a native app problem, and it's what UltraLevel is built for.
• You use GoHighLevel's automation builder, funnels, or membership sites daily: keep GoHighLevel's app (web or desktop) open for that — those stay out of scope for native third-party clients by design, UltraLevel included.

Most agencies running both end up using GoHighLevel's own app for platform-building work and a native client for the daily contact/deal/conversation grind. See how the two fit together in UltraLevel vs. GoHighLevel's Desktop App.
